• The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the TikTok ban.
• The law is set to go into effect on Sunday, which would lead to the app going dark unless ByteDance divests itself from the company beforehand.
• There are signs that lawmakers want to delay the ban.

TikTok is nearing what could be its final days here in the US, impacting the millions of Americans who use the platform. In what could be the final nail in the coffin, the Supreme Court has now ruled against TikTok’s latest effort to prevent the ban from going into effect.

As reported by NBC News, the US Supreme Court rejected ByteDance’s free speech challenge on Friday. With this ruling, there’s now nothing in the way to stop the TikTok law from going into effect on Sunday. That law requires parent company ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok and sell it to a US company or be banned.
