The Supreme Court has upheld the law that will effectively ban TikTok on Sunday, January 19 .

The law essentially forces the social network to shut down unless it divests its U.S. operations.

TikTok has warned that the app will simply “go dark” but it’s unclear what exactly will happen once the ban takes effect.
