US courts may take note of India’s stance on TikTok: FCC chief Brendan Carr

India's early ban on TikTok could have implications for the legal battle the company faces in the United States. TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, is expected to challenge the US move to ban the video-hosting service. The recent directive from US President Joe Biden requires ByteDance to divest ownership of TikTok or face a ban within the next nine to 12 months. ByteDance has stated that it does not plan to sell the app, with TikTok's CEO arguing that the facts and the US Constitution are on their side. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Brendan Carr believes that India's actions against TikTok could play a role in the US litigation, potentially showing that the concern about TikTok extends beyond the US alone.
