TikTok Battles US Court Over Potential App Ban

TikTok has filed an emergency request to block a U.S. law that mandates its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its ownership or face a ban in the U.S. The request follows a federal court ruling that upheld the law's constitutionality, dismissing TikTok's claims of First Amendment violations. The law, part of a broader national security package, gives ByteDance until January 2025 to comply. TikTok argues the law is a de facto ban and plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. The situation remains uncertain, especially with the upcoming change in U.S. presidential administration.
