TikTok ban: US Supreme Court upholds law that prohibits the app

The Supreme Court ruled without dissenting opinions that the law did not violate the US Constitution’s First Amendment protection against government abridgment of free speech.

The justices affirmed a lower court’s decision that upheld the measure after it was challenged by ByteDance.

“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” the Supreme Court said.

“But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.”
