The Ongoing ArchivesU.S. Supreme Court has ruled to uphold the forthcoming ban of TikTok, which will see the app phased out of American users' digital diets starting Jan. 19.

Following a short deliberation, the court's unanimous decision keeps the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (as it is officially called) in place.

"There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community.
