🚨 TikTok Ban Update: A U.S. court has upheld a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent, ByteDance, to divest ownership or face a nationwide ban starting Jan. 19, 2025. Here’s what’s happening & what it means for you. 🧵⬇️ 🕵️‍♂️ Why the ban? The U.S. says TikTok poses a national security risk, claiming ByteDance could share user data with China. TikTok denies this, but Congress isn’t convinced. This fight has been brewing for years. ⚖️ Supreme Court next: TikTok is challenging the ban, arguing it violates free speech rights. The Court will hear the case Jan. 10, but unless ByteDance sells TikTok, the ban could hit before decisions are final. 👀 🛑 Will TikTok disappear? Not necessarily. Options include: • Selling to a U.S. company (👀 Microsoft or Oracle) • A government extension of the Jan. 19 deadline • Or Trump’s administration letting it slide 🤷‍♂️ 🧠 What can you do? Enjoy the app while it lasts or follow updates closely. This is about way more than dance trends—it’s free speech, data security, & global politics. 🌍💬
