PANews reported on January 15 that according to The Information, two people familiar with TikTok's plans revealed that TikTok plans to shut down its app for US users on Sunday, the day federal law will ban the app unless the Supreme Court intervenes and blocks the ban. The sudden shutdown of the app, rather than allowing users who have already downloaded the app to continue using it, will make all TikTok users feel the impact of the ban. One of the people familiar with the matter said that according to the plan, users who try to open the TikTok app will see a pop-up message directing them to a website with information about the ban; TikTok plans to give users the option to download all their data so that they can carry a record of their personal information.
