TikTok is trying to stop a U.S. ban that could kick the app off stores in the coming weeks. The company wants the courts to pause the law while they take their case to the Supreme Court and give President-elect Trump time to weigh in. TikTok says banning the app would hurt its millions of users and creators who depend on it for their work.
The law requires TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban. TikTok argues it’s not a threat and that banning it violates free speech, but a court recently ruled the law was fair and focused on national security. Now TikTok is fighting to delay the law to keep the app running while the case continues.
It’s unclear if Trump can fully stop the ban, but TikTok is running out of time. Without a delay, companies like Apple and Google may have to remove the app soon, leaving users wondering what’s next. The courts are expected to make a decision soon.
