Hey everyone! Do you love scrolling through TikTok for funny videos and cool dances? 😊 Well, there’s some important news about TikTok you should know!
What’s Happening?
TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is asking a US court to pause a law that might ban TikTok in the United States by January 19th. They want the Supreme Court to review this decision.
Why Is This Important?
If the law isn’t paused, TikTok could be shut down in the US! 😱 That means more than 170 million people might not be able to watch or create TikTok videos anymore.
ByteDance’s Move
ByteDance filed an emergency request to stop the ban while the Supreme Court looks into it. They believe there’s a good chance the Supreme Court will help keep TikTok running.
What About the New President?
The company is also hoping that with the new president taking office on January 20th, there might be a change in plans. They think the new administration might decide not to ban TikTok after all.
Why Do They Want to Ban TikTok?
Some people are worried about how TikTok handles user data and security. But ByteDance says they’re working hard to keep everyone’s information safe.
What’s Next?
We’ll have to wait and see what the courts decide! 🤞 Until then, keep enjoying your favorite TikTok videos and creators.
