Summary

TikTok, with 170 million US users, faces a nationwide US ban starting January 19 unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform.

A court rejected ByteDance’s bid to delay the ban, forcing TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The US government cites national security concerns over data collection, while TikTok argues its US user data is stored domestically.

President Biden may grant a 90-day extension, but the decision could fall to Trump, who has opposed banning TikTok.

    I would trust you, but after what you did to the forerunners I just can’t.

      And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I’m not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall be my example.
