NextImg:Supreme Court Decides Chinese-Owned TikTok's Fate

The Supreme Court decided that TikTok must divest from its Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance.

“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” the opinion in TikTok v. Garland states. “But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.”

In the opinion, the high court upheld a law passed by Congress last April that gave TikTok nine months to divest from ByteDance or be removed from U.S-based app stores.

On Sunday, it will be illegal for the United States to “provide services to distribute, maintain, or update” TIkTok as long as the platform is under Chinese control.

“Speaking with and in favor of a foreign adversary is one thing,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his concurring opinion. “Allowing a foreign adversary to spy on Americans is another.”
