The high-profile names who could potentially buy TikTok following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law banning the platform in the US.

Analysts have suggested it is "just matter of time" until the US ban on TikTok spreads to allied countries and beyond – if the Trump administration decides to keep it offline. The app has been switched off in America after US lawmakers ruled it was a national security risk because of owner ByteDance's ties to the Chinese government - ties it denies.

The Supreme Court upheld a law that requires TikTok's Chinese owner to sell off the app's U.S. business or face a nationwide ban Sunday.

TikTok shuts down in the US ahead of ban, but president-elect says he'll issue an executive order to bring it back once he takes office.
