A potential nationwide TikTok ban could dramatically reshape social media for millions of content creators and users.

The court is hearing oral arguments on TikTok’s bid to block a law that would lead to its ban in the U.S. starting Jan. 19 if it isn’t sold by its Chinese owner.

A majority of the justices appeared more concerned about the national security implications of the popular app’s Chinese ownership than about the restrictions on free speech the law would impose.

In a battle over free speech and national security, the justices expressed skepticism about Chinese content manipulation.

The Supreme Court's nine justices heard arguments on Friday in a challenge by TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance to a law that would force a sale or ban the widely used short-video app by Jan.

The justices, who asked tough questions of both sides, showed skepticism toward arguments by lawyers for TikTok and its users.

The Supreme Court of the United States is hearing arguments today to decide the fate of TikTok.

The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a new law that could force TikTok to shut down in the U.S., with conservative and liberal justices alike expressing skepticism about the legal challenge.

The law does say that if TikTok is banned, mobile app stores - that’s Apple and Google, mostly - will be obligated to stop making TikTok available from their stores in the United States. Otherwise they’d rack up mammoth fines.

We're getting down to the wire with a U.S. ban on TikTok set to take effect on Jan. 19, 2025, depending on what the Supreme Court says.
