The Supreme Court has agreed to review a federal law that could ban TikTok in the US. The law requires the app's Chinese parent company to sell it or face a ban.
The fate of TikTok is in the hands of the Supreme Court , as the nation’s highest court prepares to weigh a federal law —set to take effect Jan. 19—banning the popular social media app unless its China -based parent company sells it, culminating years of debate over TikTok.
\The Supreme Court announced it will review TikTok’s challenge against the federal law that could potentially ban the app,against it until the conservative majority court rules on TikTok’s legality or dismisses the case, saying the pause would “create breathing room for this Court to conduct an orderly review ... before this vital channel for Americans to communicate with their fellow citizens and the world is closed.”\The Supreme Court’s decision comes after a three-judge panel said national security concerns outweigh TikTok’s First Amendment rights, later declining TikTok’s request to halt its ruling upholding the law. TikTok has been fighting against the federal government, challenging the constitutionality of the ban and arguing the app and its American users were having their First Amendment rights violated.\President Joe Biden signed the bill requiring TikTok to be sold or banned, provoking a response from the platform, which claimed in ato pass the bill, which Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said was done to “prevent foreign adversaries from conducting espionage, surveillance, maligned operations, harming vulnerable Americans, our servicemen and women, and our U.S. government personnel.
