The US Supreme Court has upheld a law that would ban TikTok nationwide unless its Chinese parent ByteDance sells the platform by this Sunday.
TikTok challenged the law, arguing that it violated free speech protections for the app’s more than 170 million US users.
But that argument was rejected by the country’s highest court, meaning TikTok must now find an approved buyer for the US version of the app or face removal from app stores and web hosting services.
Still, the outgoing Biden administration and President-elect Donald Trump are trying to work out a reprieve for the platform, which US officials have warned poses a national security risk.
