People record themselves on a smartphone for social media in Times Square in New York City on January 17, 2025. The US Supreme Court on January 17, 2025, upheld a law that will ban TikTok in the United States, potentially denying the video-sharing app to 170 million users in the United States starting on January 19. White House officials on January 17 told US media that they would not enforce the ban and leave it up to President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office a day later.
