The US Supreme Court is set to rule on TikTok’s fate this week. 

The social media platform is in court challenging a law that would force its Chinese parent company ByteDance into a sale or face a US TikTok ban. After hearing oral arguments for and against the ban, the Supreme Court appears poised to uphold it. It would go into effect on Sunday.

But incoming President Donald Trump will be sworn in the following day, and could scramble whatever decision is reached this week.

Legal editor Sara Forden joins Big Take host Sarah Holder to discuss the case and what a ban would mean for TikTok users, competitor tech platforms and US-China relations.
