The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Jan. 10 over a law requiring TikTok to break ties with its Chinese -based parent company, ByteDance .

At the heart of the case is whether the law violates the First Amendment with TikTok and its creator allies arguing that it does.

If the government prevails as it did in a lower court, TikTok says it would shut down its platform by Jan. 19 .

If the Supreme Court does not delay the ban, app stores and internet service providers would be required to stop providing service to TikTok by Jan. 19 .

TikTok users would continue to have access, but the prohibitions will eventually make the app "unworkable," the Justice Department has said.

Creators should continue to post regularly on TikTok , an influencer marketing agency says.
