TikTok plans US shutdown amid looming ban by legislators

Washington DC [US], January 16 (ANI): TikTok is preparing to shut down its operations in the United States this Sunday if a planned ban by lawmakers goes ahead, Al Jazeera reported.

The popular app, known for its short videos, will stop operating completely rather than continuing to serve its current users. According to Al Jazeera, under the terms of the ban, users would still be able to use the app for a short time, but it would eventually stop working because app stores and internet services would no longer be allowed to offer updates.
