In December 2024, President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential ban from going into effect until after he takes office on Jan. 20, 2025.

"I think the biggest obvious result of this law going into effect is that … it's going to require more technical savvy to access TikTok," Ruane told the outlet in January 2025. "And that in and of itself is going to be too big of a barrier for lots and lots of people to continue to access TikTok or to continue to try to use TikTok as a service."
Are people still using Lemon8?
The app had one million daily active users and 12.5 million global monthly active users, according to market intelligence company Sensor Tower, per AP.
