Donald Trump has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to postpone any ban on TikTok, aiming to find a political resolution first. Concerns about China using the app for influence or espionage led Congress to pass a law requiring its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the platform. If this fails, a ban is set for January 19, just before Trump takes office. The ban could significantly affect users in the U.S. and abroad, with TikTok having approximately 170 million users in the U.S. Hearings on the matter are scheduled for January 10.
