Will TikTok really be banned? Here’s what could happen next after the video site lost in court

TikTok is now facing a ban if it doesn’t divest from ByteDance. The ruling could be appealed to the Supreme Court before the ban takes effect on January 19.

A U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Friday in favor of upholding a law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest its popular short video app TikTok in the United States by early next year or face a ban.
