Now that TikTok has finally reached the end of its legal options in the US to avoid a ban, somehow, its future seems less clear than ever. The Supreme Court couldn’t have been more direct: the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,

Justices reject the Chinese app’s First Amendment challenge to a federal law against “foreign adversary” control.

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld a lower court ruling that the app TikTok owned by China’s ByteDance must sell itself or be banned in the U.S.

After hearing arguments on Friday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to uphold the law, meaning that TikTok will be banned effective if the parent company ByteDance does not sell the company by Sunday.

The U.S. Supreme Court officially upheld the law to ban the TikTok social media app on Friday.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last Friday from TikTok, which claims the ban is a breach of American's First Amendment rights. And after more than a week, the court handed down its decision to uphold law that could ban TikTok in the U.S.

TikTok, ByteDance and several users of the app sued to halt the ban, arguing it would suppress free speech for the millions of Americans who use the platform.

With the ban upheld by the Supreme Court and the Biden administration leaving, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is banking on Trump to save the app in the US.

The high court doesn't announce which opinions it is releasing. But the justices are up against a Sunday deadline for TikTok to cut ties with China.

U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle hailed a ruling by the Supreme Court on Friday that upheld a law that gives popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok until Sunday to be bought by an American company or be banned.
