The High Court’s Decision: TikTok’s Final Battle Against a Potential U.S. Ban
On a pivotal Friday, the nation’s highest court became the battleground for a fierce debate over whether to uphold or overturn a law that might essentially ban TikTok in the United States. This controversial bill, enacted by President Biden in April 2024, mandates that TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, divest its U.S. operations by January 19th or face an outright ban.
