What happens to my TikTok if the ban goes through?

CNN  

New York CNN — TikTok’s fate in the United States is now in the hands of the Supreme Court. Beyond being unavailable in the app stores, “what the act says is that all of the other types of service providers can’t provide service either,” Francisco said. I think that’s the consequence of this law.” TikTok itself said in its emergency filing to the Supreme Court that if the court doesn’t block the law, it “will take effect on January 19, 2025, shutting down TikTok for its more than 170 million monthly American users.” But some things are clear, including the fact that TikTok won’t suddenly disappear from existing users’ phones. “Potentially, vulnerabilities will become known in the app, and hackers will take advantage of those vulnerabilities to compromise your account or your device,” Eva Galperin, director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told CNN’s Terms of Service podcast..Still, it could be weeks or months before existing users see their experience on the app degrade. “It is possible that come January 20th, 21st, 22nd, we might be in a different world,” Francisco, TikTok’s attorney, said Friday, referencing the change in administration.
