NextImg:BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds law banning TikTok – The Right Scoop

The Supreme Court just issued a unanimous decision on the law that bans TikTok if the Chinese social media platform isn’t divested and sold to a US company.

Here’s more from CBS News:

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a new law that would lead to a ban of the social media platform TikTok, clearing the way for the widely popular app to be forced to shutter in the U.S. as soon as Sunday.

“We conclude that the challenged provisions do not violate the petitioners’ First Amendment rights,” the court said in a unanimous unsigned opinion, which upholds the lower court decision against TikTok.

The court’s opinion comes days before the law, which was passed with bipartisan majorities of Congress last April, is set to take effect. TikTok and a group of content creators who use the app argued the law infringes on their free speech rights, and the Supreme Court heard arguments in their bid to block it one week ago.

With the Supreme Court declining to throw TikTok a lifeline, the immediate effects on access to the app as of Sunday’s deadline aren’t immediately clear. Reuters reported Wednesday that the company planned to shut down the platform for U.S. users once the ban takes effect. Those trying to open the app would be greeted with a pop-up message directing them to a website with information about the new law, according to the report.
