TikTok seeks Supreme Court pause on U.S. ban, citing user harm and free speech concerns.

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have requested a temporary halt to a U.S. law that could ban the app unless it sells to a non-Chinese owner by January 19. TikTok argues the ban would harm its 170 million U.S. users and violate free speech rights. The U.S. Supreme Court will consider the case, with the outcome potentially impacting the new Biden administration. The law stems from concerns over national security and data privacy, though TikTok denies any wrongdoing.
