English Summary
TikTok Ban Confirmed Constitutional by U.S. Appeals Court
The U.S. Appeals Court unanimously ruled in favor of the "TikTok Ban Law," deeming it constitutional due to national security concerns. This decision, announced on December 6th, comes seven months after TikTok filed a lawsuit against the federal government's ban.
The court accepted claims by the U.S. Department of Justice that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, could be influenced by the Chinese government, raising potential risks to national security. TikTok countered with arguments that the ban violated the First Amendment rights of its users and the company's constitutional freedoms, but the court dismissed the appeal.
If unchallenged, the ban will take effect on January 19, 2025. ByteDance must divest TikTok's U.S. operations by that date to avoid a service ban. TikTok has announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court.
TikTok's spokesperson criticized the decision, labeling it "based on flawed assumptions" and warning that it could silence over 170 million users in the U.S.
This law, passed in April by Congress, reflects ongoing efforts by U.S. lawmakers to curb potential foreign interference and data risks involving TikTok and ByteDance.
