Is TikTok going dark this Sunday? How will the Supreme Court rule? Here’s what to know. The US government has been toying with a possible ban on Chinese-owned social video platform TikTok for years, citing national security, data privacy, and propaganda concerns. After the issue heated up this spring, the app’s fate may soon be determined. Here’s the latest. For context: In April, President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that would ban TikTok in the US if its parent company, ByteDance, failed to sell the app within a year (as in, right around now). This started the divest-or-ban clock for ByteDance to make its move. The company was given an initial nine months to sort out a deal — with a possible three-month extension, contingent on progress — but ByteDance has maintained the app isn’t up for grabs. Also: Why the TikTok ban could collapse the creator economy Instead, TikTok has taken its case to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS), where it argued that a ban would be a First Amendment violation. SCOTUS has yet to rule, though forecasts have been grim about TikTok’s survival in recent weeks, and alternative apps are already popping up.
