TikTok Fights U.S. Ban as Legal Battles Intensify

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have requested an emergency injunction to delay a U.S. ban on the platform, which is set to take effect on January 19. The company plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing that the ban violates free speech rights and that the government has not demonstrated an imminent national security threat. TikTok claims the ban would cause significant harm to its business and users, and that delaying it poses no immediate risk to U.S. security.
