The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of a law that would ban TikTok in the United States.
The highest court in the land agreed on Wednesday to hear arguments from the popular social messaging app TikTok, which is set to be banned in just a month. The United States Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10, as an expedited timeline in advance of the ban taking effect nine days later. The Supreme Court called for the U.S.
Department of Justice, lawyers for TikTok, and a group of users who separately challenged the law, to be prepared to argue whether the ban that was passed by Congressional lawmakers violates the First Amendment. \TikTok is challenging the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA). The challenge centers on ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, which must either divest from TikTok or face a total ban in the United States by January 19, 2025. The Biden administration selected this due date, leaving President-elect Donald Trump out of the matter since he will be president the next day.Recently, Trump announced he sees value in TikTok and may be able to keep the app when he becomes president. \The planned ban, which Congress passed in April, gave TikTok nine months to sever its ties with ByteDance, its Chinese parent. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law, and as noted, it is set to take effect on January 19, 2025, unless the Supreme Court rules in the app's favor. \The U.S. Supreme Court moving so quickly to take this case signals the significance of the implications. The case is a fulcrum between the First Amendment and national security, said Dr. Steven Stovall, assistant professor of management and entrepreneurship at. The company is filing the case to protect the firm's interests in the U.S.—which is probably the largest market for TikTok, while the current administration and the incoming one have concerns for the security of the United States, added Stoval
