US Supreme Court ruling on TikTok, Trump reacts: You'll see what I'll do

US President-elect Donald Trump has reacted to the decision of the United States Supreme Court, which supported the possibility of banning the TikTok platform if it is not sold by the current owner by next Sunday.

This decision has caused great uncertainty for users and businesses that rely on the famous application, while the 78-year-old, who has been a harsh critic of TikTok, stressed that he will ultimately have the final say on the future of the application.

In a statement, Trump said "you'll see what I'm going to do," hinting that he has other plans to resolve this issue, which has become a legal and political impasse.


The Supreme Court, which has given the green light to a possible ban on TikTok, argued that US national security concerns related to the use of the platform by Chinese citizens outweigh any concerns about restricting freedom of expression.

According to the court, the possibility of abuse of users' personal data and the impact that TikTok could have on American domestic politics outweighs concerns about individuals' freedom of expression and what could happen to the 170 million users who have accounts on this platform in the United States.

Otherwise, the decision comes at a time when tensions between the United States and China are high, and TikTok has become the subject of fierce debate regarding security and privacy. /Telegraph/
