How a TikTok ban would work and alternative apps people are using

TikTok is appealing against the imminent ban imposed on it by the US government - (PA Wire)

TikTok is running out of time to overturn the ban on it in the US, which is due to take effect on Sunday January 19.

Earlier in January its Chinese owner, Bytedance, appealed to the supreme court to set aside the ban, arguing that it infringed its free speech rights; however, the court has not yet reached a determination on the issue.
