Supreme Court Upholds Law Banning TikTok in U.S. What’s Next?
On Friday the Supreme Court affirmed that it would be legal to force TikTok owner ByteDance to sell the immensely popular app to a non-China-based company or to ban it in the U.S. Last week an attorney for TikTok had argued before the Supreme Court that a bipartisan law that mandated the sale or ban infringed on the company’s First Amendment rights.

President-elect Donald Trump said mass deportations will begin “very quickly” after taking office, one of a number of plans he discussed in a phone interview with NBC News on Saturday.

Despite facing a looming ban, ByteDance and the U.S. government have been locked in a proverbial game of chicken, with TikTok’s parent company refusing to divest more than a year later. Lawmakers and experts have long argued that the firm is beholden to the Chinese government, creating security risks for the app’s American users.
President-elect Donald Trump is also urging the court to delay the deadline to give his administration time after taking office Jan. 20 to pursue a political resolution. Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first administration, has since promised to “save” it.
