TikTok faces shutdown in US — Will Joe Biden’s extension save the app or is it too late?

US lawmakers from both major political parties celebrated a ruling by the Supreme Court on Friday that upheld a law mandating the popular Chinese-owned social media app, TikTok, to be acquired by an American company by Sunday, or face a potential ban.

The justices unanimously ruled that the law, which was passed by Congress last year and signed by Democratic President Joe Biden, did not violate the US Constitution’s First Amendment, which safeguards freedom of speech.
