The scheduled January 19 ban of the popular Social Media Platform TikTok in the US is has been reaffirmed after the Supreme Court upheld the original ruling to prohibit the platform’s legal operation in the country.

The decision, confirmed on Friday, marked a major blow to thousands of content creators and influencers, who were hopeful of a reversal or revision to the ban, which set to go into effect go Sunday.

Many took to social media to vent their disappointment in Friday’s ruling, which officially leaves the viral app with less than 72 hours remaining.

Despite the setback, there might yet be hope for US TikTokers following recent reports by both outgoing and incoming President Joe Biden and Donal Trump would be exploring ways to keep the app active in the country should the ban remain.

Among the reported options include not enforcing the ban.

Under the current stipulations of the prohibition, should the shares of TikTok remain owned by Chinese-based ByteDance, companies will face steep penalties for hosting the App in the US.

Thus, barring an immediate presidential intervention, TikTok will no longer be available for download via Apple Store and Google Play Store after Sunday.
