The Chinese-owned company said it would cut off its services unless the U.S. assures Apple, Google and other companies that they would not be punished for hosting and distributing TikTok.

The clock is ticking toward a U.S. ban on TikTok, but users seeking clarity on what that will mean did not get much Saturday from the company that runs the popular video-sharing platform or the technology giants that offer the TikTok app in their digital marketplaces.

For now, TikTok’s ability to operate stateside hangs in the balance after the Supreme Court upheld the law demanding that TikTok divest from its Chinese owner or face a ban. On its face, what the Supreme Court upholds is misleading.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said on Friday he wants to thank U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for his commitment to work with the company and find a solution that keeps the app available in the United States.

The fate of Tiktok is in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump after the Supreme Court upheld the ban Friday..

It is unclear if Mr. Trump, who has previously said he will spare the social media platform, will or can stop the ban.

Trump spoke to NBC News' Kristen Welker in an exclusive phone interview Saturday, discussing his plans on what to do about the popular social media app.

President-elect Donald Trump says he “most likely” will give TikTok 90 more days to work out a deal that would allow the popular video-sharing platform to avoid a U.S. ban.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called TikTok’s threat to “go dark” tomorrow a “stunt,” and said there is no reason that TikTok or any other companies should take any actions under the ban before the Trump administration is sworn in Monday morning,

President-elect Donald Trump spoke on the possibility of delaying a ban less than 24 hours from when the social media app is expected to shut down.

TikTok may get a 90-day extension to save it from its imminent ban if President-Elect Donald Trump decides so.
