Abstract

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok's challenge to a law that could result in the popular social media platform being banned in the US if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company. The court has scheduled arguments for January 10, just before the ban is set to take effect on January 19. TikTok and its parent company argue that the law violates free speech protections, while a three-judge panel in Washington upheld the law as a means of protecting national security and user privacy. The Supreme Court's decision is seen as highly unusual, and analysts give TikTok a 30% chance of winning the case. [Extracted from the article]
