A three-judge panel unanimously ruled to uphold a U.S. law passed earlier this year that forces ByteDance to divest TikTok.
A bill that passed the House in March and was signed into law by President Joe Biden in April requires TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the platform to an American owner by January 19th, 2025. If TikTok is not owned by a U.S. company by that date, the app would be banned in the U.S. Today, a trio of federal appeals court judges unanimously ruled to uphold the law.
Now that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit made its ruling, the next stop is the U.S. Supreme Court. In today’s decision, the court said, „We recognize that this decision has significant implications for TikTok and its users.
