China-based ByteDance has filed an emergency request with a federal court to pause a law that could force TikTok to be banned, arguing it violates free speech.
Attorneys for TikTok stated that the law, upheld by a US appeals court, threatens to shut down TikTok, a platform for over 170 million monthly users in the US.
TikTok and ByteDance argued that the Supreme Court should review this important case before any drastic action occurs, which could affect its users.
The companies suggested that an injunction might allow the incoming Biden Administration to establish its stance, potentially averting imminent dangers and the need for Supreme Court intervention.
