TikTok Files Emergency Appeal With Supreme Court Seeking to Block U.S. Ban
TikTok filed an appeal with the Supreme Court seeking an emergency injunction to block a U.S. law that could impose a nationwide ban.
In the ruling, the three-judge panel found that national security risks outweighed the argument put forth by TikTok and ByteDance that the law violates the First Amendment rights of millions of the video app’s users. And yet, in part precisely because of the platform’s expansive reach, Congress and multiple Presidents determined that divesting it from the [People’s Republic of China’s] control is essential to protect our national security.” The TikTok-specific provisions instead straightforwardly require only that TikTok divest its platform as a precondition to operating in the United States.” According to the court, the U.S. government “has offered persuasive evidence demonstrating that the Act is narrowly tailored to protect national security.”
