TikTok asks Supreme Court to temporarily block looming US ban
ai generated text
TikTok has requested the US Supreme Court to temporarily block a law that would require its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the platform or shut it down by January 19. The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, aims to block TikTok's access to US app stores and web hosting services unless ByteDance divests from the app. TikTok has argued that a modest delay in enforcing the law would create breathing room.
As you know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok.
This, in turn, will silence the speech of Applicants and the many Americans who use the platform to communicate about politics, commerce, arts, and other matters of public concern.
A modest delay in enforcing the Act will create breathing room for this Court to conduct an orderly review and the new Administration to evaluate this matter -- before this vital channel for Americans to communicate with their fellow citizens and the world is closed.
Congress has enacted a massive and unprecedented speech restriction.
Applicants -- as well as countless small businesses who rely on the platform -- also will suffer substantial and unrecoverable monetary and competitive harms.
