Supreme Court Hears TikTok's Appeal Against U.S. Ban Set for January 19
Jan 10, 2025, 02:15 AM
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments today, January 10, 2025, in TikTok's challenge against the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a federal law requiring the app to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a nationwide ban. The law, signed by President Biden in April 2024, mandates that TikTok be sold by January 19, 2025, citing national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. TikTok has sued to block the law, arguing that it violates free speech rights. If the Supreme Court does not intervene, TikTok plans to shut down its U.S. operations on January 19. The case presents a collision between free speech and national security, with significant implications for the social media landscape and the roughly half of Americans who use the app for entertainment and information.
