TikTok has said it will be forced to "suspend operations" in the US from Sunday unless the government intervenes before the ban is implemented.
According to foreign media reports, in a statement, TikTok said that the White House and the Department of Justice have failed to provide the service provider with the necessary clarity and assurances that are essential to maintaining TikTok's availability.
It said that unless the government immediately steps in to assure the video app that it will not be punished for violating the ban, TikTok will be forced to suspend operations from January 19.
It should be remembered that yesterday, the US Supreme Court ruled to maintain the ban on TikTok in the US, citing national security.
The Supreme Court ruled to uphold the ban on TikTok unless it is sold to American citizens, and this decision was made unanimously by 9 judges.
The report stated that TikTok is used by almost half of the US population, but the court has refused to protect this platform.
The decision stated that the law passed by Congress did not conflict with the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which protects the right to freedom of expression.
US Supreme Court justices have upheld a lower court ruling that banned TikTok, ByteDance and other applications, against which users of the said applications had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court.
The court said in its ruling that there is no doubt that TikTok is a comprehensive and unique platform for expression for more than 170 million Americans, which provides citizens with the opportunity to connect, but Congress has deemed its sale necessary to eliminate the threats posed to national security by TikTok.
A statement from the White House indicates that President Joe Biden will not take any action to save TikTok before the Sunday deadline, while President-elect Donald Trump has opposed a TikTok ban and will be sworn in on Monday.
Trump said in a statement on social media regarding the ban that the Supreme Court's decision was expected and everyone should respect it, and that my decision regarding TikTok will not be far off, but I will need time to assess the situation.
Trump said that TikTok and other disputes were discussed during a telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
