Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban
In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court has upheld a law passed in the spring that could lead to a ban of TikTok in the United States. This decision marks the end of numerous legal challenges by the social media platform’s parent company, ByteDance, and comes amid rising tensions between the US and China.
The law in question requires ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the country. However, White House officials have announced that they will not enforce the ban on President Joe Biden’s final day in office. This move has raised speculation about the potential actions of incoming President Donald Trump.
As previously reported, TikTok users have been vocal in their opposition to the proposed ban, with fans urging their congressional representatives to reconsider the bill before it was passed. The situation may also have unintended consequences, as some lawmakers accused TikTok of interfering with the legislative process by encouraging its users to make calls to their elected officials.
In recent days, TikTok fans have been exploring alternative social media apps, including a Chinese platform known as “RedNote” or Xiaohongshu, which has risen to the top of app stores.
