The US Supreme Court has upheld a law that could see TikTok being banned within the country in the next few days over national security concerns. The court had this week heard an appeal from TikTok owner ByteDance against the law but has chosen to reject it, and now all eyes will turn to the incoming US administration of Donald Trump: Who is to be inaugurated on January 20, and has previously said he "opposes banning" the app.
"There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community," the Supreme Court's (unanimous) judgement reads (thanks, BBC).
