U.S. Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Divestment Order

According to PANews, on January 17, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a bill requiring TikTok to divest from its parent company, ByteDance, by January 19, or face a nationwide ban. The court determined that the bill does not violate the petitioner's First Amendment rights. Previously, reports suggested that U.S. President-elect Trump was considering an executive order to delay the enforcement of the TikTok ban by 60 to 90 days.
