Overview
The Supreme Court upheld a law requiring TikTok to sell its U.S. operations from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, citing national security concerns. TikTok's legal arguments focused on potential violations of free speech rights, but the court ruled unanimously against these claims, determining that national security outweighed those concerns. As January 19 approaches, TikTok must find a buyer or face an operational shutdown in the U.S., prompting preparations to cease service for American users.
