The Justice Department filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to reject President-elect Trump's request to delay a law that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S. or force its sale by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
The Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to reject President-elect Donald Trump ’s request to delay the implementation of a law that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S. or force its sale by its Chinese parent company by Jan. 19. The DOJ argued that Trump’s filing took “no position” on the First Amendment question and that granting Trump’s request would equate to a temporary injunction.
The Justice Department also tackled ByteDance’s First Amendment argument head-on, stating that the Act does not warrant heightened First Amendment scrutiny because it does not impose a burden on any cognizable First Amendment rights of ByteDance, its U.S. subsidiary, or TikTok’s users. If the Supreme Court doesn’t act by Jan. 19 or sides with the U.S. government, TikTok would be banned just one day before Trump is inaugurated
