The US Department of Justice is urging the Supreme Court to reject a request by President-elect Donald Trump to delay a law that would force TikTok to sell its US assets or be banned. Trump argues he needs time to find a political solution after taking office.
The US Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court to reject President-elect Donald Trump 's request to delay implementation of a law that would ban popular social media app TikTok or force its sale by January 19. Trump filed a legal brief arguing he should have time after taking office on January 20 to pursue a political resolution to the issue. The court is set to hear arguments in the case on January 10.
The law, passed in April, requires TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to divest the platform's US assets or face a ban. The DOJ said in its filing that Trump's request could only be granted if ByteDance had established it was likely to succeed on the merits but the company had not done so. DOJ said no one disputes China seeks to undermine US interests by amassing sensitive data about Americans and engaging in covert and malign influence operations. The government asserted that no one can seriously dispute that (China's) control of TikTok through ByteDance represents a grave threat to national security: TikTok’s collection of reams of sensitive data about 170 million Americans and their contacts makes it a powerful tool for espionage.'
