THE TIKTOK BAN HEADS TO THE SUPREME COURT TOMORROW. HERE'S WHAT TO
KNOW (4 MINUTE READ) [5]

TikTok will argue its case before the Supreme Court today in a case
that will decide whether the government can ban the platform if it
doesn't sever ties with China. The US government wants to ban TikTok
due to concerns about China's control over the app. TikTok says the
ban violates its First Amendment right to free speech and that the US government's security concerns are too vague and hypothetical to
justify an infringement of its rights. If TikTok is banned on January
19, people who don't already have the app on their devices will no
longer be able to download it from Google or Apple app stores. The law
also bars US internet hosting services and data-storage providers from supporting the app. There are workarounds, but they are limited.
