Professor Victoria Schwartz Quoted in "What Could Happen to Your TikTok App on Sunday" -- Yahoo Finance

Professor Victoria L. Schwartz is quoted in the Yahoo Finance article, "What Could Happen to Your TikTok App on Sunday." The article considers the Supreme Court decision that upheld a US law that banned the social media app on January 19 unless it is sold to an owner not controlled by a foreign adversary.

A president can push the Jan. 19 deadline by 90 days if TikTok's parent is making progress on a sale of the US operations.

If TikTok decides not to go dark and the law stays in place, its app won’t "magically disappear" from phones, CNET tech reporter Abrar Al-Heeti told Yahoo Finance.

Instead "the practical effect is, in the short run, what's going to happen is new users won't be able to download the app in any of the marketplaces," added Pepperdine University media and intellectual property law professor Victoria Schwartz.
