The adversity continues to pile up against TikTok and that is indeed another legal hammering on this like putting it in its place for the attempt of the company not to be banned in the United States. The ruling will sever the fate of an emergency injunction filed by TikTok earlier on in the week near the US federal court, thus making it a decision, which denies the request of the company for a temporary halt to a law potentially forcing the removal of the App within next month.
Possible Supreme Court Appeal
TikTok plans to approach the Supreme Court, looking for a different outcome. Their lawyer stated that it might be possible that President-elect Donald Trump would view the app differently. However, the panel of three judges denied the request curtly, considering the absence of merit toward a pause.

High Stakes
TikTok emphasized just what an effect the ban would produce when it said: “The voices of more than 170 million Americans here in the US and worldwide will be silenced on January 19th, 2025 unless the TikTok ban is lifted.” Quite simply, this highlights just how high the stakes are in this legal drama.
Uncertain Future
The Supreme Court now has to decide whether to hear the case. If they decide against hearing it, the ban on TikTok goes ahead as planned. The outcome is uncertain and the future of the app in the United States hangs in the balance.
