  App gives ultimatum it would 'go dark' for 170 million American users on Sunday - TikTok said the Biden administration must give the likes of Google and Apple reassurances that they won't be punished,

The article discusses TikTok's ultimatum to the Biden administration regarding a potential ban of the app in the U.S. TikTok has warned that it might go dark on Sunday if the administration does not provide clarity on its future in the country. This comes in the wake of a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that could lead to a nationwide ban on TikTok unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests its interest. The legislation, driven by concerns over national security and data privacy, gives ByteDance a deadline to sell TikTok or face a ban. TikTok has responded by urging its 170 million American users to contact their representatives to oppose the bill, highlighting the potential economic and cultural impact of such a ban. The situation remains fluid as the Senate has yet to vote on the bill, and TikTok's future hangs in the balance.
