After the Supreme Court heard oral arguments over a law that could ban TikTok, it looks like one of its last possible lifelines is unlikely to save it from the impending ouster.

TikTok could be banned in just a little over a week, unless the Supreme Court does something about it — and it sounds like it won't.

While Supreme Court justices pressed both sides in Friday’s oral arguments, experts say it’s hard to see how TikTok gets enough votes to survive.

The Supreme Court held oral arguments Friday in a case that is likely to decide whether the TikTok is allowed to continue functioning in the U.S.

On Friday, the Supreme Court heard last-minute arguments about the ban, with TikTok angling for an intervention or, at least, a temporary ruling to buy it a bit more time. They didn’t go especially well for TikTok — even justices who sounded sympathetic to the company’s arguments about free speech seemed satisfied by the government’s core national security argument.

We’re tuning in live as the justices consider what could be one of the most consequential First Amendment rulings of the past several decades.

The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a new law that could force TikTok to shut down in the U.S., with conservative and liberal justices alike expressing skepticism about the legal challenge.

If Lemon8 were to be banned as well, TikTok users would largely be limited to long-established social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube, which have added features in recent years to compete with TikTok.

The Supreme Court appears inclined to uphold a law that would ban the video-sharing app TikTok in the U.S. after Jan. 19 unless its China-owned parent company divests.

The law that could force a ban on TikTok as soon as Jan. 19 is vague on how it would be enforced. Some experts say that even if TikTok is actually banned this month or soon, there may be so many legal and technical loopholes that millions of Americans could find ways to keep TikTok’ing.

TikTok transformed everyday users into influencers and made entrepreneurs rich via its Shop feature. With the US ban looming, they could lose everything—and many don’t know where to go next.
