President-elect Donald Trump requested the Supreme Court delay the TikTok ban until his administration addresses the issue politically. A law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company by January 19 or face a ban is under scrutiny. While TikTok argues against this as a restriction on free speech, the government views it as essential for national security. Trump, although opposing a ban, prepares to resolve the issue after taking office.

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.

Despite Donald Trump's promise during his presidential campaign not to ban TikTok, the app is facing potential banning as Trump takes office in 2024. TikTok's owner, ByteDance, is required to divest from its US assets or face a ban from app stores based on a law passed by Congress. TikTok is challenging this law in court but is not yet successful. Even with Trump's election win, the future of TikTok in the US remains uncertain as Trump cannot simply repeal the law. He has two options to intervene - not enforcing the law or claiming it doesn't apply to TikTok - but both approaches come with legal challenges and uncertainties. It remains unclear if Trump will prioritize saving TikTok as he begins his term.

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.

The 2020 ban on TikTok by Trump could be reversed by Biden using a law that allows a 90-day extension for TikTok's sale, contingent on progress towards divestment. Trump could alternatively redirect his Justice Department to deprioritize enforcement or issue an executive order claiming national security benefits to retain TikTok. Another option is a Supreme Court stay on the government lawsuit, providing time for new legal arguments and avoiding legal complications.

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.
