Source: TikTok prepares for US shutdown from Sunday, sources say | Reuters
据知情人士透露，TikTok 计划从周日开始向美国用户关闭其应用程序，届时针对该社交媒体应用程序的联邦禁令可能会生效，除非最高法院采取行动阻止禁令。 关闭的结果与法律规定的结果不同。法律将只要求禁止在苹果或谷歌应用商店 TikTok 新的下载，而现有用户可以继续使用一段时间。 知情人士说，根据 TikTok 的计划，试图打开该应用程序的人会看到一条弹出消息，将他们引导到一个包含禁令信息的网站，由于此事尚未公开，知情人士要求匿名。 他们说，该公司还计划为用户提供下载所有数据的选项，以便他们可以记录他们的个人信息。 其中一位消息人士表示，关闭此类服务不需要更长的计划，并指出截至本周，大多数运营仍在照常进行。消息人士称，如果禁令稍后被撤销，TikTok 将能够在相对较短的时间内恢复对美国用户的服务。
TikTok plans to shut its app for U.S. users from Sunday, when a federal ban on the social media app could come into effect, unless the Supreme Court moves to block it, people familiar with the matter said.
The outcome of the shutdown would be different from that mandated by the law. The law would mandate a ban only on new TikTok downloads on Apple or Google app stores, while existing users could continue using it for some time.
Under TikTok’s plan, people attempting to open the app will see a pop-up message directing them to a website with information about the ban, the people said, requesting anonymity as the matter is not public.
The company also plans to give users an option to download all their data so that they can take a record of their personal information, they said.
Shutting down such services does not require longer planning, one of the sources said, noting that most operations have been continuing as usual as of this week. If the ban gets reversed later, TikTok would be able to restore service for U.S. users in a relatively short time, the source said.
