ByteDance has until January 19 to divest itself from the popular video sharing app
One of the most popular video sharing apps in the world might not be on your phone come next year. A U.S. ban of TikTok will move forward unless Chinese-owned tech company ByteDance divests its control by January 19 after an appeals court rejected its argument against the constitutionality of the new law. “The First Amendment exists to protect free speech in the United States,” read the decision from the three-judge panel of the U.S.
A TikTok spokesman told NPR today that it will appeal the latest setback to the Supreme Court. Incoming President-Elect Donald Trump has also promised to “save TikTok,” though it’s not clear what form that would take. It could mean another attempt to negotiate the sale of the app to a U.S. tech company like Microsoft or Apple. Earlier this week, Trump shared TikTok stats on Truth Social about his viral McDonalds and garbage truck videos from back during the campaign.
