TikTok Says It Will Shut Down In U.S. by Jan. 19 Unless Supreme Court Strikes Down or Delays Ban
TikTok says it will shut down in the U.S. by Jan. 19 unless the Supreme Court strikes down a law aimed at forcing its Chinese parent company to sell.
In one of the most important cases of the social media age, free speech and national security collide at the Supreme Court on Friday in arguments over the fate of TikTok, a wildly popular digital platform that roughly half the people in the United States use for entertainment and information. Working on a tight deadline, the justices also have before them a plea from President-elect Donald Trump, who has dropped his earlier support for a ban, to give him and his new administration time to reach a “political resolution” and avoid deciding the case. In language typically seen in a campaign ad rather than a legal brief, lawyers for Trump have called on the court to temporarily prevent the TikTok ban from going into effect but refrain from a definitive resolution.
