The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on January 10 concerning the constitutionality of a law that mandates the sale of TikTok by January 19 or face a ban in the U.S., citing potential First Amendment violations. This comes as the Biden administration's Justice Department prepares to defend the law, while the incoming Trump administration may hold differing views. TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, along with content creators, argue against the law, highlighting potential losses in users and revenue. The case raises significant issues regarding free speech and the regulation of social media platforms, with enforcement details to be handled by the Justice Department.
