TikTok has asked the Supreme Court to block a federal law that would ban the popular platform in the United States unless its China-based parent company agrees to sell it.
TikTok asked the Supreme Court to block a federal law that would ban the popular app in the United States unless its parent company agrees to sell it by next month.
Without a court-ordered freeze, the law would take effect Jan. 19 and expose app stores that offer TikTok and internet hosting services that support it to potential fines. It would be up to the Justice Department to enforce the law, investigating possible violations and seeking sanctions. But lawyers for TikTok and ByteDance have argued that President-elect Donald Trump's Justice Department might pause enforcement or otherwise seek to mitigate the law's most severe consequences.
