TikTok Asks Court to Temporarily Pause Ban As It Looks to Supreme Court or Trump to Weigh In
Briefly

TikTok's recent legal actions seek to block a law requiring its Chinese parent company to sell the app or face a ban, highlighting concerns over user rights.
The law, justified by national security issues, compels ByteDance to divest TikTok by January 19, targeting its 170 million U.S users and raising First Amendment debates.
TikTok argues that the forced sale is unfeasible due to Chinese government restrictions, asserting that banning the app would infringe on the First Amendment rights of its users.
In light of the incoming Trump administration, TikTok hopes to secure a legal reprieve, emphasizing that a freeze could allow potential negotiations before the ban takes effect.
