Today, the Supreme Court took up the TikTok ban.
We will hear argument this morning in case 24656, TikTok versus Garland, and the consolidated case.
The justices will determine whether or not the law banning TikTok in the U.S. will go ahead. It's slated to go into effect January 19th.
Today was an exciting hearing at the Supreme Court. The courtroom was filled, but no, it was tense and it was interesting and it dealt with some very important issues.
That's our colleague Jess Braven, who covers the Supreme Court. Big picture, what's at stake in this hearing?
Well, what's at stake here is the future of TikTok, the viral social media app that 170 million Americans use each month. The government says that TikTok presents a national security threat to the United States if it remains in the control of China, a designated foreign adversary. But TikTok says, no, those threats are overblown.
And a group of American users of the app also challenged the law, saying that their free speech rights are infringed if the app they love is taken away.
