WASHINGTON — The fate of a law that would likely ban social media platform TikTok in the United States goes before the Supreme Court on Friday as the justices consider whether to block it. The nine justices on the conservative-majority court will hear oral arguments from lawyers for TikTok, some of its users and the Biden administration, with at least a preliminary decision likely in days, if not hours.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the law, despite finding that it did implicate the First Amendment and needed to be reviewed very closely. The three-judge panel concluded that the law served a compelling government interest and was sufficiently narrowly tailored to further that interest.
