TikTok's attorney Noel Francisco highlighted that if ByteDance isn't allowed a reprieve in divesting, TikTok's partners may stop working with it, leading to the app's shutdown in the US.
The Supreme Court is deliberating a divest-or-ban law that could force TikTok to stop operating in the US by January 19 if its Chinese owner doesn't divest.
TikTok filed a legal challenge against the divest-or-ban law, contending that divesting from its Chinese parent company is an 'extraordinarily difficult' process that cannot be completed in the given timeline.
Without an extension on the divestment deadline from the Supreme Court, TikTok would be forced to 'go dark' in the US, blocking both downloads and current users from viewing content.
