The US Supreme Court has ruled that a TikTok ban will go ahead unless the app is sold by its parent company, Bytedance. While the ban will take effect on Sunday, President-elect Joe Biden has stated he will not enforce it. Despite attempts by TikTok's lawyers and creators to overturn the ban, the Court upheld the order. This decision comes after former President Trump's push for a ban and Bytedance's refusal to sell the app. The potential ban could see TikTok 'go dark' in the US, with no new downloads or updates.
