TikTok’s future in the US could be decided by the Supreme Court. Facing a Jan. 19 deadline to divest from ByteDance — or risk a federal ban — TikTok has petitioned for an emergency injunction.
The DC Circuit already ruled against TikTok, rejecting claims the law violates First Amendment rights. Now, with its business on the line, TikTok hopes the Supreme Court will intervene.
The decision could redefine how far the US can go in banning foreign-owned apps, balancing security fears with free speech. If the ban is enforced, it may also open the floodgates for broader app crackdowns.
And then there’s Trump. Once the loudest voice calling to ban TikTok, he’s now in talks with CEO Shou Chew today. A delay could push the decision into his hands.
