The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a nationwide ban on TikTok, stating that the app poses a threat to US national security and does not violate First Amendment rights.
The justices noted that TikTok's connection to Beijing justified the ban, emphasizing Congress’s deep concerns over data collection practices linked to the Chinese government.
Attorney General Merrick Garland praised the ruling, stating, 'This decision protects the country against foreign adversaries by preventing the Chinese government from weaponizing TikTok.'
With 170 million users in the US, TikTok offers a unique platform for expression and community, yet the court's ruling emphasized the overriding national security issues.
