The latest ruling on TikTok and what’s next?

According to TSR, the US Court of Appeals in D.C. has shut down TikTok’s attempt to overturn a law targeting its China-based parent company, ByteDance. The law requires TikTok to cut ties with ByteDance or face a US ban by mid-January. TikTok argued that the rule destroys First Amendment rights, but the court didn’t buy it. Now, the video app and ByteDance will take their fight to the Supreme Court, though it’s unclear whether the case will get there. Meanwhile, TikTok spokesman Michael Hughes remains optimistic, saying the app will come out on top despite the loss.

“The Supreme Court has a solid, historical record of protecting Americans’ right to free speech, and we expect it to do just that with respect to this important constitutional issue. Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was designed and imposed based on inaccurate, flawed, and hypothetical information,” Hughes said in a statement. “Which led to explicit censorship of the American people.”
