US Supreme Court upholds law banning TikTok
The US Supreme Court has upheld a law that will ban TikTok in the United States, potentially denying the video-sharing app to 170 million users in the United States on January 19.
In a major defeat for TikTok, the court rules that the law does not violate free speech rights and that the US government had demonstrated legitimate national security concerns about a Chinese company owning the app.
