TikTok Asks Court To Delay U.S. Ban

TikTok has asked a federal appeals court to prevent the Biden administration from enforcing a law that could lead to a ban on the platform until the Supreme Court reviews the challenge. The law requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a potential ban as soon as next month. TikTok and its parent company claim that if the law is not overturned, the app could shut down by January 2025, affecting over 170 million American users. The companies argue that a shutdown would result in significant user and revenue losses, and they are seeking a delay to allow the incoming administration to determine its position on the matter.
