The Supreme Court has upheld a federal ban of TikTok, and users are scrambling. The ban, which is expected to take effect on January 19, is a looming crisis for the countless small businesses and creators who’ve built their livelihoods on the platform.

TikTok is set to be banned in the US on 19 January after the Supreme Court denied a last ditch legal bid from its Chinese owner, ByteDance. It found the law banning the social media platform did not violate the first amendment rights of TikTok and its 170 million users, as the companies argued.
