The US Supreme Court declined to block a law requiring TikTok to be sold or banned in the US over national security concerns, a significant setback for the app.

The Court ruled unanimously to uphold a law requiring TikTok to be sold or banned due to national security concerns.

According to the Court, the law passed with bipartisan support does not violate the First Amendment.

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance challenged the law, but the Court sided with the government, emphasising the national security risks of TikTok’s Chinese ownership.

The law concerns China’s control of TikTok, including potential data collection and influence operations.

TikTok, used by nearly 270 million Americans, could face a ban unless its Chinese parent company sells it.

The Biden administration has defended the law, while former President Trump, who previously wanted to ban TikTok, indicated that his administration would look into a political resolution.

The law allows for a 90-day extension if progress is made toward a divestiture.

TikTok, with 7,000 employees in the US, argues the law endangers free speech rights and could severely impact its business.
