If the Supreme Court doesn't block a federal law before Sunday, TikTok will be shut down in the U.S. The app is reportedly planning to shut off its services for US users to highlight the impact of the ban. The law mandates ByteDance sell TikTok's US operations by January 19th or face a ban. If no sale is made by then, TikTok will be blocked from US app stores.
If the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene before Sunday, TikTok as we know it in the U.S. will be shut down. TikTok is a cultural phenomenon with more than 170 million users in the U.S., and if it does get banned, it’s not clear where TikTok’s masses will go for the type of entertaining videos that popularized the short-form video app. According to The Information, TikTok reportedly is planning to shut off its app for U.S.
Others, meanwhile, believe users are looking for something different and could turn to other apps.Lemon8 is a photo-based app that is a combination of Instagram and Pinterest and is sprinkled with videos resembling ones posted on TikTok. It launched in the U.S. in 2023, a few years after it debuted in Asian markets.
