More than 170 million Americans could lose access to the widely popular social media platform TikTok beginning on Sunday after the Supreme Court upheld the law that forces TikTok to divest from its parent company or be banned.
“Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary. For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the challenged provisions do not violate petitioners’ first amendment rights,” the justices said in an unsigned opinion on Friday.
