ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, must sell the social media platform by January 19 to avoid a ban from going into place, according to a law passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden last year.
Trump vowed on the campaign trail to save TikTok from a possible ban despite several Republican members of Congress voting the opposite direction last year. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in a lawsuit challenging the ban. It is unclear when the Supreme Court will issue a ruling on the matter.
