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.
