Supreme Court to Decide TikTok's Fate by January 19 Amid National Security and First Amendment Concerns
Jan 9, 2025, 08:39 AM
The fate of TikTok in the United States hangs in the balance as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on Friday over a law that could ban the app unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests its ownership by January 19. The legislation, passed with bipartisan support in Congress, aims to address national security concerns related to TikTok's data collection and potential for content manipulation by the Chinese government. TikTok and a group of its creators have challenged the law, arguing that it infringes on their First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court's decision will impact the 170 million American users of the platform, which has become a significant source of information and entertainment, particularly for younger audiences. President-elect Donald Trump has requested a pause on the ban until he assumes office, citing his intention to negotiate a resolution, although the Justice Department has urged the court to reject this request.
