TikTok just hit another legal roadblock in its fight to stay in the US.
A federal appeals court rejected the app’s attempt to overturn a law that would force its sale or ban by early 2025.
TikTok argued the move was unconstitutional and a blow to the free speech rights of its 170 million American users, but the court wasn’t convinced.
What Does The Ruling Say?
The ruling backed the law, calling it a “carefully crafted” response to national security concerns over TikTok’s ties to China.
TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, denies the accusations and its representative has appeared in hearings several times.
TikTok Will Now Approach The Supreme Court
The company now plans to take the battle to the US Supreme Court, hoping for a decision that safeguards free speech.
Despite Donald Trump’s assurances that he will oppose the ban, experts believe the drama is not over yet.
