ByteDance and TikTok are now appealing to the court to obtain a temporary stay order from the TikTok application being blocked if it is not sold by January 19, 2025. This stay is requested in an effort to await a review by the United States Supreme Court regarding TikTok's appeal.
TikTok in the United States has more than 170 million users, and also has a TikTok Shop service that helps a number of small businesses.
If TikTok fails to obtain this latest injunction, it will be banned in the United States in about 6 weeks, and ByteDance will have to find a buyer for TikTok in the United States if it wants to continue operating in the country.
Previously, the incoming President of the United States, Donald Trump, said he would not ban TikTok in the United States during the country's latest election campaign. However, for your information, when he came to power in 2020, Donald Trump tried to ban TikTok.
