A federal appeals court upheld a law that could result in TikTok being banned from operating in the US next month. Frank McCourt, former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, wants to buy TikTok's US business through his Project Liberty initiative. He believes this sale would benefit everyone involved, including ByteDance, users, and the US government.
TikTok is officially on the chopping block, friends. Last Friday, a federal appeals court upheld a law that could result in the app being banned from operating within the United States next month. Even if President Joe Biden decides to extend that deadline an additional 90 days, TikTok is still on a pretty tight timeline to find a way out of this mess. Earlier this year, I spoke with Frank McCourt for this newsletter about his bid to buy TikTok.
“This will be a major blow to many creators and small businesses that make money on TikTok,” says Rosenberg. “However, I have faith that we will find a new place to share our ideas and messages if they end up banning TikTok.” CJ Pearson, a conservative creator with more than half a million followers on X, tells me that he’s confident Trump will find some solution.
