Summary
A U.S. federal appeals court is set to rule on the law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets by January 19 or face a ban.
TikTok’s legal challenge argues that the law violates constitutional rights and targets ByteDance unfairly.
The ruling could either uphold the law, challenge its fairness, or declare it unconstitutional, with significant implications for TikTok’s future in the U.S.
A high-stakes legal decision regarding TikTok's U.S. operations is expected by December 6, as the federal appeals court in Washington evaluates the legality of a law mandating ByteDance to sell or divest TikTok's American assets by January 19, 2025. The case could determine whether the popular short-video app, used by 170 million Americans, will face a ban or gain a reprieve.
