The Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok's challenge against a law that may lead to the platform being banned in the United States. The justices will listen to oral arguments on January 10. The law in question, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, requires TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its stake or face a ban by January 19. TikTok argues that this law would close down a significant platform for speech in the U.S. just before a presidential inauguration, affecting users discussing politics and other public matters.
