TikTok to get its day in court

Published On Sep 15, 2024, 11:00 AM

TikTok is in court facing a law that could force its parent company, ByteDance, to divest control of the app or face a nationwide ban. This is due to national security concerns raised by the U.S. government regarding data privacy and foreign ownership. TikTok claims the law is unconstitutional and violates users' First Amendment rights. The hearing is taking place in the D.C. Court of Appeals, where content creators have joined TikTok in arguing against the law. The case may also reach the Supreme Court due to its significant implications.
