TikTok says it will go dark on Sunday unless given 'definitive' assurances

  • TikTok announced it would disable access for over 170 million Americans on Sunday unless the Biden administration provides assurances against punishment for violating a ban.
  • The Supreme Court allowed the controversial ban to stand, which requires TikTok to sell to American buyers by Sunday or face a ban in the United States.
  • The Biden administration indicated it would leave enforcement of the ban to President-elect Donald Trump, who has not clearly stated his intentions regarding the ban.
  • TikTok stated that without a definitive statement from the Biden administration, it would be forced to go dark on January 19.
