TikTok Files Emergency Motion To Stop App From Being Banned In The U.S.

TikTok is fighting back as the timer for its nationwide ban continues to countdown.

In a statement shared earlier today (Dec. 9), the short-form video-sharing app said,

“we filed an emergency motion for an injunction to stop the TikTok Ban from taking effect on January 19, 2025 until our appeal of the decision by the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit is heard by the US Supreme Court.”

Highlighting how the ban could negatively impact many Americans, the statement continued,

“TikTok is, at its core, its 170 million American users. Estimates show that small businesses on TikTok would lose more than $1 billion in revenue and creators would suffer almost $300 million in lost earnings in just one month unless the TikTok Ban is halted. In 2023 alone, the advertising, marketing, and organic reach on TikTok contributed $24.2 billion, and TikTok’s own operations contributed an additional $8.5 billion to the U.S. GDP.”
