TikTok Requests Emergency Pause On Law Banning Platform In U.S.

The social media platform TikTok filed an emergency request to pause a law that would ban the popular app in January.

The law would ban TikTok from being available beginning on Jan. 19, unless the company sells the platform to a new owner.

In a court filing, the company says a pause would allow more time for the U.S. Supreme Court to review the law.

TikTok said the ban in the United States would cause the company to lose around a third of its daily users.
