There could be a TikTok ban here

A federal appeals court rejected a legal challenge to a law requiring TikTok to cut ties with its Chinese parent company or be banned by Jan. 19. The legal decision came Friday from a panel of appointed judges, including two Republicans and one Democrat. “It will almost certainly go to the U.S. Supreme Court for reconsideration,” predicted KOAT legal expert John Day. He added that the decision made on Friday would stand if the Supreme Court did not hear the case – bringing the TikTok ban one step closer to becoming a reality. According to TikTok, 170 million Americans in the US use the app. The company said in a statement on Friday: “Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was designed and enforced based on inaccurate, erroneous and hypothetical information, resulting in total censorship of the American people.” There are new questions about the fate of the social media -Company as President The elected Donald Trump takes office. His record on TikTok has gone back and forth over the years. In April, President Joe Biden signed legislation passed by Congress requiring TikTok to cut its ties with the Chinese government over national security threats.
