TikTok asks Supreme Court to block potential ban
www.independent.co.uk
More than 170 million Americans use TikTok, with a nationwide ban set to come into force on January 19

Summary

TikTok, with 170 million US users, faces a nationwide US ban starting January 19 unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform.

A court rejected ByteDance’s bid to delay the ban, forcing TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The US government cites national security concerns over data collection, while TikTok argues its US user data is stored domestically.

President Biden may grant a 90-day extension, but the decision could fall to Trump, who has opposed banning TikTok.

            That legit information and news could be somewhere else that isnt controlled by the Chinese state media.

            And yes I am implying a US controlled social media platform would be better than a Chinese one for America. It’s still bullshit, but it’s not another country’s propaganda. We can sort out our own propaganda.
