The Supreme Court said it may announce opinions on Friday, a last-minute addition that comes just two days before a law that would ban TikTok is set to go into effect.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a new law that would lead to a ban of the social media platform TikTok, clearing the way for the widely popular app to shutter in the U.S. as soon as Sunday.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld on Friday a law banning TikTok in the United States on national security grounds if its Chinese parent company ByteDance does not sell the short-video app by Sunday, as the justices in a 9-0 decision declined to rescue a platform used by about half of all Americans.

The Supreme Court ruled against President-elect Donald Trump twice in the days leading up to his inauguration.

That decision shifts the focus to whether President-elect Donald Trump can intervene after he takes office on Monday.

The United States Supreme Court is poised to announce a critical decision on Friday that could determine the future of TikTok in the country. The app, immensely popular among Americans, faces a potential ban due to concerns over national security and data privacy.

The ban will go into effect on Jan. 19 unless TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance sells its U.S. operations to an American entity.

Looming over the Supreme Court's TikTok decision is what could happen after Donald Trump takes office. Trump promised to "save" the popular platform.

TikTok, ByteDance and several users of the app sued to halt the ban, arguing it would suppress free speech for the millions of Americans who use the platform.
