TikTok never had a Plan B. Now, it may have to shut down if Trump can’t save it.

Blake Chandlee, the company’s president, told advertisers after the Supreme Court’s decision that “we’re optimistic about finding the best path forward” and to expect “next steps” before the ban goes into effect. Meta’s fallout continues: CTO Andrew Bosworth admitted internally that some of the changes “were pretty ham-fisted” and are being reconsidered, including the removal of tampons from men’s restrooms.
