The Supreme Court's ruling means starting January 19, tech giants Apple and Google can no longer offer TikTok on their app stores, affecting millions of users.
The Court acknowledged that TikTok provides a distinctive outlet for 170 million Americans, yet Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary due to national security concerns.
The Justices reiterated their ruling is not a broad precedent, noting the expedited nature of the case and focusing narrowly on TikTok's specific circumstances.
With the ruling affirming the federal ban, web-hosting providers must sever ties with TikTok or face substantial fines, significantly impacting the platform's operation.
