Supreme Court Hears Arguments on TikTok Ban Just Days Before Deadline
The U.S. Supreme Court convened to debate the potential ban of TikTok, a law signed by President Biden in April 2024, requiring its parent company, ByteDance, to divest U.S. operations by January 19. TikTok's legal team argued that the ban infringes on First Amendment rights and is discriminatory against social media platforms. The government countered that the measure is necessary to protect national security from foreign data access. As both sides present their cases, the court's decision could determine TikTok's fate in the U.S. within days.
