Court upholds law requiring sale or ban of TikTok

A federal appeals court upheld a law that could lead to a TikTok ban in the U.S. The court ruled that TikTok must sever ties with its China-based parent, ByteDance, by mid-January or face a ban, rejecting the platform's claim that the law violates the First Amendment.

Friday’s ruling came after the appeals court panel, composed of two Republican and one Democrat appointed judges, heard oral arguments in September. The three judges all denied TikTok’s petition. Judge Sri Srinivasan, the chief judge on the court who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, issued a concurring opinion.
