The US Supreme Court is set to hear TikTok’s arguments on January 10 regarding a potential ban on the app, which the government claims has ties to the Chinese state. A federal appeals court recently upheld the ban, dismissing TikTok’s request for an emergency injunction. TikTok argues that the ban infringes on the free speech rights of its 170 million users in the US. Donald Trump, who opposes the ban, met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, adding political complexity to the situation as he prepares to assume office.
