Supreme Court will hear arguments over the law that could ban TikTok in the US if it’s not sold
The San Diego Union-tribune - Dec 18th, 2024
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10 regarding the constitutionality of a federal law that could ban TikTok in the U.S. if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, doesn't sell it. The law, enacted in April, sets a January 19 deadline for the sale. The case raises questions about potential First Amendment violations by restricting free speech, as well as national security concerns. The outgoing Biden administration supports the law, while the incoming Trump administration might have a different stance. The law, if enforced, would affect TikTok's user base and revenue significantly. A federal appeals court upheld the law, and the Supreme Court's decision timing remains uncertain.
