U.S. Supreme Court to Hear TikTok Case Amid Sale Deadline
The U.S. Supreme Court will evaluate a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the social media platform by January 19 or face a ban in the U.S. The court set a hearing for January 10 to determine if the law infringes on the First Amendment rights. The law, passed by Congress in April, aims to address concerns over potential espionage by Chinese authorities, despite TikTok’s denials of sharing user data with Beijing.
