Facing a looming ban in the US, TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have appealed to the Supreme Court for a temporary injunction against a law requiring divestment.
TikTok and ByteDance filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to temporarily block a law that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok by January 19th or face a ban. The request comes as they appeal a lower court's ruling that upheld the law, which was passed by Congress in April. The Justice Department has argued that TikTok, as a Chinese company, poses a national security threat due to its access to vast amounts of user data and its potential to manipulate content.
A group of US users also filed a similar request. TikTok and ByteDance maintain that the law violates free speech protections under the First Amendment, arguing that users have the right to make informed choices about the content they consume
