Justice Amy Coney Barrett noted during the proceedings, "The law doesn't say TikTok has to shut down. It says ByteDance has to divest." This statement emphasizes the focus on ownership rather than the operational status of TikTok itself.
TikTok had argued that a ban "violates the First Amendment." However, during the proceedings, it was highlighted that "ByteDance is a foreign corporation that doesn't have First Amendment rights," underlining the legal complexities at play.
Chief Justice John Roberts remarked, "Congress doesn't care what's on TikTok; Congress is fine with the expression," indicating that the legislative intent centers more on ownership issues than on content regulation.
President-elect Donald Trump's incoming National Security Advisor stated that Trump will "preserve" TikTok through measures like an executive order, demonstrating the political maneuvering surrounding the app's future.
