TIK TOK
SCOTUS unanimously upheld a federal law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, sells the video-sharing platform.
The justices (read the ruling) rejected TikTok's free speech challenge, allowing the law to take effect tomorrow—the deadline for ByteDance to divest its ownership. Congress passed the bipartisan legislation last year because of concerns about Chinese government influence, including potential manipulation of user content and sensitive data collection from more than 170 million American users of the app.
