Supreme Court to Hear TikTok's Appeal Against Ban

The Supreme Court of the United States is scheduled to review an appeal by ByteDance and TikTok, aiming to postpone the enforcement of legislation that mandates either the sale or prohibition of the popular short-video platform. TikTok had previously sought the Supreme Court's intervention to halt a regulation threatening to ban the app unless its parent company, ByteDance, divests it to a buyer outside of China by January 19.

The case holds significant implications for the future of TikTok in the United States, as well as for the broader landscape of international tech companies operating within U.S. jurisdiction. More details are expected to emerge as the Supreme Court hears arguments in the coming days.
