TikTok threatens to shut down on Sunday unless Biden takes action.

• TikTok will be unavailable on Sunday unless the Biden administration guarantees protection for providers like Apple and Google.
• On Friday, the Supreme Court unanimously decided to uphold a law that mandates ByteDance to sell TikTok in the U.S. or face a ban.
• On Sunday, TikTok's American userbase, which the company claims is over 170 million, will not be able to access the app or website.

TikTok threatened to shut down its services on Sunday unless the Biden administration guarantees that it will not penalize other service providers who support the app.

TikTok stated on Friday that it will be forced to go dark on January 19 unless the Biden Administration provides a definitive statement assuring non-enforcement of the app's ban.

On Sunday, TikTok's American user base, which the company claims is over 170 million, will not be able to access the app or website.

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday to uphold a law that requires service providers to stop supporting TikTok's app in the US if ByteDance, its parent company, does not complete a "qualified divestiture" by Sunday. This means that Apple, Google, and other service providers could face penalties if they do not comply with the law.

TikTok stated that the statements issued by the Biden White House and the Department of Justice have not provided the required clarity and assurance to service providers, which are essential for maintaining TikTok's availability to over 170 million Americans.
