TikTok ban upheld by US Supreme Court: What happens now?

From the Center

TikTok is set to be banned in the US on 19 January after the Supreme Court denied a last ditch legal bid from its Chinese owner, ByteDance.

It found the law banning the social media platform did not violate the first amendment rights of TikTok and its 170 million users, as the companies argued.

President-elect Donald Trump says, simply, the future of TikTok is up to him.
