(Reuters) – Leaders at Oracle, the main cloud computing provider for TikTok's US operations, have told some staff to prepare to shut down servers that host US TikTok data as soon as 9 pm ET on Saturday (0200 GMT on Sunday) in advance of a US law banning the app from Sunday, The Information reported.
Under a law passed last year and upheld on Friday by a unanimous Supreme Court, the platform has until Sunday to cut ties with its China-based parent ByteDance or shut down its US operation to resolve concerns it poses a threat to national security.
