In a landmark ruling, the US Supreme Court has upheld legislation that mandates the nationwide ban of the popular app TikTok unless its parent company, ByteDance, divests its ownership by this Sunday. TikTok's legal challenge hinged on claims that such a ban infringes on the free speech rights of its over 170 million users in the United States. However, the Court dismissed these arguments, compelling TikTok to seek an approved buyer or face removal from all digital platforms and hosting services. Amidst this legal battle, discussions between the outgoing Biden administration and incoming President Donald Trump are reportedly underway, as both parties explore potential avenues for the app's continuation, amid national security concerns flagged by US authorities.
