The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok’s legal arguments against a potential ban set to take effect on January 19. The case arises from allegations of the app’s links to the Chinese government, which TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have denied. Previously, a federal appeals court rejected an attempt to overturn the legislation, highlighting national security concerns. Legal experts suggest the case will address the balance between free speech rights and national security issues, given the extensive bipartisan action taken to address the perceived risks associated with TikTok’s ownership.
