TikTok will argue its case in front of the Supreme Court this week, but if a law isn't overturned, the app will shut down by January 19.

T he fate of TikTok in the United States will soon be in the hands of the Supreme Court, as the Justices hear oral arguments Friday over a law that could shut down the popular social media platform.

The justices will review a law that would effectively shut down TikTok in the United States this month unless the company divests from Chinese ownership.
