The Supreme Court is considering a case that could determine the fate of TikTok in the U.S. The social media platform faces a shutdown by January 19th unless the court intervenes. The case revolves around a law that compels TikTok's sale from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, citing national security concerns.
TikTok says it plans to shut down the social media platform in the U.S. by Jan. 19 unless the Supreme Court strikes down or otherwise delays the effective date of a law aimed at forcing TikTok's sale by its Chinese parent company. The Supreme Court is being asked to rule on the constitutionality of the law, which has sparked debate over free speech and national security .
The Biden administration contends that China's control of TikTok through ByteDance poses a grave threat to national security, but TikTok argues that the limits on speech should not be sustained when they stem from fears that are predicated on future risks. President-elect Donald Trump has also submitted an amicus brief asking the court to temporarily prevent the TikTok ban from going into effect but refrain from a definitive resolution. The justices have set aside two hours for arguments, and the session is likely to extend well beyond that
