Explainer-What happens next for TikTok after Supreme Court agrees to review potential US ban?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : Trump becomes president on Jan. 20, the day after the U.S. law indicates a ban would start.
29% : If the Supreme Court does not halt the law before it takes effect, it is not clear how Trump, once in office, would be able to affect the matter.
28% : U.S. tech companies could face billions of dollars in fines if they allowed users to access TikTok after Jan. 19 and even if Trump said he would not enforce the law, they could face potential risks from others who might seek to enforce it.
26% : TikTok in court papers raised the possibility that the new administration would "pause enforcement" or seek to mitigate its potential consequences, although at least one senator has noted that Trump cannot ignore the TikTok law.
20% : The additional time would throw the final decision to Trump, who has said he has a "warm spot" for TikTok and will not allow short video service, which is used by 170 million Americans, to be banned.
