Trump asks Supreme Court to pause law that could ban TikTok in the US
ai generated text
TikTok has filed a brief with the US Supreme Court arguing that a law requiring it to be banned or sold by January 19, 2025 is unconstitutional and should be blocked. The law, which was voted on by Congress in April, aims to ban the app unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells it to an American company. Donald Trump has also urged the Supreme Court to pause the implementation of this law, arguing that it would effectively ban the app in the United States on January 19, one day before his inauguration.
Now (that) I'm thinking about it, I'm for TikTok, because you need competition. If you don't have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram -- and that's, you know, that's Zuckerberg.
Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.
President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute.
