We’ll Cease To Exist In The US On The Eve Of Trump’s Inauguration – TikTok

Popular social media platform, TikTok has officially announced plans to cease its operations in the United States by January 19, 2025.

Recall that President Joe Biden signed into law, a legislation to remove TikTok from U.S. app stores and prohibit internet providers across the nation from allowing access to the platform if ByteDance cannot sell to an American company by Jan. 19.

Responding, TikTok filed an emergency motion for an injunction to stop the ban from taking effect, arguing that it violates the First Amendment and will generate substantial losses.

According to the company, the ban will take effect on the said date if the Supreme Court rules that the law should be upheld.

It wrote, “Absent such relief, the Act will take effect on January 19, 2025. That would shut down TikTok—one of the Nation’s most popular speech platforms for its more than 170 million domestic monthly users on the eve of a presidential inauguration.”

WOW.
