US Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban law

The US Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a federal law that requires TikTok to be sold by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or banned in the United States. The law, which takes effect on January 19, would deny the video-sharing app to its 170 million users in the US. The court's decision comes after the company, ByteDance, challenged the law, arguing that it would violate free speech protections for TikTok's users.
