  • US Supreme Court will hear arguments from TikTok as it aims to halt ban
    ReadWriteWeb, Thursday - 12/19/2024 - 06:25 AM

    The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear from TikTok’s ByteDance once more to hear their case on January 10. This comes after President Joe Biden signed into law a ban on the platform on April 24, 2024. It is owned by ByteDance which is based in China. The bill requires the app to either be sold or banned by January 19, but the company may now have a last-ditch attempt to change its fate. On December 16, TikTok requested an injunction from the Supreme Court which aims to block the ban until the conservative majority court rules on its legality or dismisses the case. Two days later, on December 18, the Supreme Court announced it will review TikTok’s challenge against the federal law and oral arguments have been scheduled for January 10.
