The Supreme Court will decide on whether TikTok should be banned in the U.S. unless it separates from its parent company ByteDance. The justices have agreed to hear TikTok's challenge to the federal law, with oral arguments scheduled for January. The court is expected to issue a ruling before the ban is set to take effect on January 19. If necessary, the court might pause the law until a decision is made. If the court upholds the law, the TikTok ban will remain unless Congress repeals it, which currently seems unlikely.
