A US appeals court has upheld a law that could lead to TikTok being banned in the US unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform by January 19, 2025. The court ruled that the law does not violate the First or Fifth Amendments, citing national security concerns over ByteDance's potential data sharing with the Chinese government. TikTok plans to appeal the decision, arguing it infringes on free speech rights. The ruling could significantly impact the social media landscape, benefiting competitors like Meta and YouTube.
