The Supreme Court refused to block a law that would effectively ban TikTok in the United States as early as this weekend if the video-sharing app does not divest from Chinese ownership.

The law was passed in April with bipartisan support and signed by President Joe Biden in response to national security concerns about the Chinese government’s potential influence over the platform.

The justices’ order was a blow for TikTok , prohibiting its operation in the lead-up to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

Even a temporary ban could lead to a major user exodus from TikTok , according to TikTok .

Even though the app would likely remain on the devices of users in the event of a ban, it could become inoperable.

ByteDance could still stave off a TikTok ban by selling the app, but the company has insisted it does not plan to do so.
