When Will TikTok Ban Start in the US? Supreme Court Upholds New Law


Social media app TikTok will officially be shuttered in the United States after the Supreme Court voted to uphold a new law

The Supreme Court of the United States voted in a unanimous decision on Friday, January 17, to uphold the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a law effectively banning the app in the country, per CBS News.
