Supreme Court Signals It’s Likely to Uphold TikTok Ban

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 12:44:15 +0000

Supreme Court justices signaled they may uphold a law banning TikTok in the US if it's not sold by its Chinese parent company by Jan. 19. Justices suggested national security concerns outweigh free speech interests, focusing on ByteDance's ties to China's Communist government. A ban would impact TikTok's 170 million US users, and technology companies hosting/distributing the app could face massive fines. Sarah Oh Lam, Senior Fellow at the Technology Policy Institute joins to discuss what this will mean for the app.
