"The Supreme Court has an established record of upholding Americans' right to free speech. Today, we are asking the Court to do what it has traditionally done in free speech cases: apply the most rigorous scrutiny to speech bans and conclude that it violates the First Amendment."
TikTok, which has argued that the law is unconstitutional, lost its initial legal challenge of the law earlier this month. The company then requested of the law's implementation, saying that President-elect Donald Trump had said he would 'save' TikTok. That request was denied on Friday.
TikTok is now hoping the Supreme Court will intervene to suspend the law in order to give the company time to make its final legal appeal. Otherwise, app stores and Internet service providers will be forced to begin blocking TikTok next month, making the app inaccessible to its 170 million US users.
