TikTok threatens to ‘go dark’ on Sunday – as Trump dangles a 90-day reprieve once he’s sworn in the following day - The app’s owners had 270 days to sell it or face ban

TikTok said it will be forced to go dark on January 19, the day the ban is set to take effect, without more assurances it won't be enforced.

NBC's Kristen Welker spoke exclusively with President-Elect Trump ahead of his inauguration about his plans for his first days in office.

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

A law that prohibits mobile app stores and internet hosting services from distributing the video-sharing platform to U.S. users takes effect on Sunday.

"We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation," the President-elect tells Kristen Welker in a phone interview

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.

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,
