Headline: UNCAPTIONED: TikTok Faces Supreme Court Showdown Over US Ban
Caption: TikTok Faces Supreme Court Showdown Over US Ban. TikTok is set to appear before the US Supreme Court in a critical attempt to overturn a looming ban. The platform is challenging a law requiring it to split from its Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd. or face a US block by January 19. The government argues TikTok poses national security risks, claiming it could be used for spying and political manipulation. TikTok, with 170 million American users, disputes these claims, calling the law an attack on free speech. While lower courts have sided with the government, the case took a twist when President-elect Donald Trump requested a pause to negotiate a deal. Analysts predict a decision favoring TikTok would be rare, as government interests often outweigh constitutional claims in such cases. A Supreme Court ruling is expected within days.
