The Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10th.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Jan. 10 over TikTok's effort to block a federal ban on the platform if it's not sold by Jan. 19., President-elect Donald Trump has asked the justices to delay a Jan. 19 deadline for the app to be sold to a new owner or face a ban in the U.S.
Trump's brief says he "opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture," but does not express the view that the law requiring the sale violates the First Amendment, saying he takes no position on the merits of the case.
