The US Supreme Court is set to hear TikTok’s appeal against a US law requiring its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban. The law, signed by President Biden, alleges TikTok enables Beijing's data collection, which both China and ByteDance deny. TikTok argues the law violates its First Amendment rights. The potential ban may affect US-China relations, especially as President-elect Trump emerges as an unexpected ally of TikTok.

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments next month regarding the constitutionality of a federal law that may result in a ban on TikTok in the country. The law, enacted in April, requires TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the social media platform by 19 January 2023, or face a ban. The court will consider whether this law violates the First Amendment by restricting speech. TikTok currently has over 170 million users in the US, and the court's decision will determine the future of the platform in the country. The timeline for the court's decision is uncertain.

TikTok's appeal against a US law requiring it to separate from its Chinese parent company by January 19 has been rejected, potentially leading to a ban in the country. The US government claims that TikTok poses security risks and allows Beijing to collect user data, while TikTok denies these allegations. The case is likely to go to the US Supreme Court. Notably, President-elect Donald Trump has supported the ban, arguing it would benefit platforms owned by Meta. The ban would block TikTok from US app stores and web hosting services unless it is sold before the deadline.

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have urgently requested the US Supreme Court to block the government's ban on the social media platform. The ban is set to be enforced next month if the parent company fails to sell the app. A federal appeals court recently upheld the ban, dismissing TikTok's claims of free speech protections. The Supreme Court's decision or any potential actions by the incoming administration could impact the ban's implementation after January 20. President-elect Donald Trump has suggested reconsidering his stance on TikTok. The Supreme Court has been asked to decide by January 6.

A US federal appeals court upheld a law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok in the United States by January 19, 2023, or face a ban. TikTok and ByteDance had sued to block the law, citing free speech concerns, but the court ruled in favor of the government due to national security considerations. The ruling could still be appealed to the Supreme Court. If the ban takes effect, US tech companies allowing users to access TikTok could face fines. The Chinese government's approval would be needed for divestment of TikTok's recommendation algorithm.
