The Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10th regarding a law that could ban TikTok if its parent company, ByteDance, does not sell the app. The case challenges the law's potential violation of free speech protections under the U.S. Constitution. Congress passed the law over national security concerns, forcing TikTok’s Chinese ownership to sell or be removed from U.S. platforms. The law's constitutionality is being challenged by TikTok, ByteDance, and a group of TikTok users, who argue that the law infringes on their free speech.
