United States this Sunday if a legislator-ordered ban takes effect as scheduled.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TikTok, which has over 170 million American users, will implement an immediate blackout rather than allowing existing users to continue accessing the platform, according to sources who spoke with The Information.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shutdown was linked to a January 19 deadline, which requires TikTok to cut ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or halt operations in the US.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the law only mandates app stores to remove TikTok and cloud providers to stop hosting US user data, TikTok reportedly plans to suspend its entire service.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE LOUNGE: Merry Christmas

instructions on how to download their personal data, The Information reports.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision came after Supreme Court justices raised skepticism during oral arguments last Friday, indicating they might uphold the ban.Related News<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a
