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,

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.

"We see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump administration takes office on Monday," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Saturday.
