U.S.(Washington Insider Magazine) – A federal appeals court has upheld a law that could lead to the ban of TikTok in the United States, citing national security concerns related to data collection by the platform. The ruling supports legislation passed in April, requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform to a U.S. owner by January 19, 2025, or face an effective ban.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit recognized the law’s implications for TikTok and its millions of users, noting that if the platform does not divest, it would be unavailable in the U.S. The court also ruled that the law’s intent is to protect American data from foreign influence.

TikTok has vowed to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, arguing that the law infringes on its First Amendment rights and unfairly targets the platform. Critics of the ban, including civil liberties groups, claim it violates free speech rights and sets a dangerous precedent for government control over online platforms.

This legal battle continues to spark debate over national security, data privacy, and freedom of expression.
