The video app that once styled itself a joyful politics-free zone is now bracing for a nationwide ban and pinning its hopes on President-elect Donald Trump.

"I cannot profess the kind of certainty I would like to have about the arguments and record before us," writes Justice Gorsuch.

The possibility of the U.S. outlawing TikTok kept influencers and users in anxious limbo during the four-plus years that lawmakers and judges debated the fate of the video-sharing app. Now, the moment its fans dreaded is here , but uncertainty over TikTok’s future lingers.

Trump is seeking to protect TikTok from a new law that gives parent ByteDance until Sunday to sell the app to an American buyer or be banned in the U.S.

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial ban on TikTok may take effect this weekend, rejecting an appeal from the popular app’s owners that claimed the ban violated the First Amendment.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew posted a video message to user in the US and thanked Donald Trump after the US Supreme Court upheld a law potentially shutting down the platform due to alleged national security concerns over its Chinese ownership.

The case hinges on whether TikTok can convince Justices that such a mandate violates the First Amendment by forcing a foreign-controlled app to sell or shut down. As of Friday, they have not — and the Court has compelled Tik-Tok to be sold or shuttered this weekend.

The Chinese-owned company said it would cut off its services unless the U.S. assures Apple, Google and other companies that they would not be punished for hosting and distributing TikTok.

America was once seen as the home of the free internet. That era is now over.

Social media platform TikTok said it will be "forced to go dark" on Sunday unless the White House gives a "definitive" statement about its future, the company said in an announcement Friday night.
