TikTok to 'go dark' in US Sunday unless government intervenes

TikTok will "go dark" in the United States on Sunday unless the government gives clear assurances that service providers won't be held liable for breaking a law banning the video-sharing platform, it said Friday.

"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.
