Supreme Court to decide the fate of TikTok in the United States

The United States Supreme Court appears inclined to endorse a regulation that compels ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to either sell the app or face the possibility of a nationwide ban by January 19. 

This law, enacted by President Biden, aims to tackle national security issues. It asserts that TikTok allows Beijing access to sensitive data and enables the spread of propaganda. 

TikTok's attorneys contend that the legislation violates First Amendment rights, while justices express concerns about China's potential misuse of American data.

The Biden administration maintains that this measure is essential for safeguarding U.S. interests. If ByteDance opts not to divest, TikTok may "go dark," impacting 170 million users in the United States.
