AsianFin -- The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the federal government can legally shut down TikTok in the United States, delivering a body blow to the popular video app used by about half of the American population
The court's ruling means that starting on Jan. 19, tech giants Apple and Google must remove TikTok from their app stores. Web-hosting providers must cut ties with the short video platform or be subject to fines of $5,000 for each user that can still access the service, a penalty that can easily add up to billions of dollars.
