US Supreme Court to hear TikTok’s ban challenge

The United States Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10, 2025, about the constitutionality of a law that could result in a ban on TikTok.

This review occurs shortly before the proposed ban is set to take effect.

The law in question is the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which aims to prohibit apps owned by certain foreign companies.

The oral arguments will last two hours, but the court will postpone any decision regarding a possible halt to the law until after the arguments.
