Update: On Friday, January 17, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court (which had heard oral arguments on the legality of the TikTok ban a week prior) decided in a unanimous ruling to uphold the law, writing that the law does not constitute a First Amendment violation and that Congress’ national security concerns are “well-supported.” The court’s ruling means that unless TikTok parent company ByteDance sells the app to a new owner prior to Sunday, January 19, 2025, the ban will go into effect as law. However, President Biden has said his administration will not enforce the ban, leaving the decision up to President-elect Trump once he takes office the day after the ban goes into effect.
