Supreme Court to decide TikTok’s fate amid ban threats

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on 10 January over a controversial law that could force TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face a ban in the United States. The outcome of this case, which pits national security concerns against First Amendment rights, could profoundly impact the platform’s 170 million US users, particularly creators and small businesses who rely on it for income and exposure.
