TikTok said its services will go dark on Sunday unless the Biden Administration gives a definitive statement providing assurances for Apple, Google and other service providers.

“Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19,” TikTok said in a statement on Friday.

The Chinese-owned company issued the statement after the Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously to uphold a law requiring that parent company ByteDance divest the app or see it face an effective ban in the U.S.
