With the prospect of TikTok disappearing in the U.S., creators on the app spent the week posting heartfelt goodbyes to their fans. A day later, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to uphold the law requiring a forced sale of TikTok by Chinese-parent ByteDance or a ban of the app in the U.S. The short-form video app that rose to mainstream popularity and changed the way Americans consumed social media while stuck indoors during the pandemic is set to go dark as soon as Sunday, meaning it could disappear from the web and be removed from app stores run by Apple and Google. TikTok’s fate in the U.S. now lies in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, who originally favored a TikTok ban during his first administration, but has since flip-flopped on the matter. Do you think that the government could have put the interests of the creators fist ?
