Last Friday , a federal appeals court upheld a law that could result in the app being banned from operating within the United States next month .

The company could win an appeal, forget about all of this, and go back to business as normal.

Or, someone with a lot of money could buy TikTok ’s US business off of ByteDance .

Frank McCourt , the billionaire former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers , has offered $20 billion for the app's brand, its user base, and the existing content.

The date to remember is January 19 , the day before Trump ’s inauguration, the last day Biden can extend the deadline and stave off a ban.

TikTok has suggested that it plans to appeal the decision, asking the court to issue an injunction to keep the app live in the US .
