The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments regarding a controversial ban on TikTok, with many justices expressing concerns about the app's ties to China. The ban, set to take effect on January 19, would restrict TikTok's operations in the U.S. unless its Chinese-based parent company divests from the platform.
During the arguments, justices questioned whether the ban implicates the First Amendment or if it is primarily aimed at regulating potential foreign control of the app. Chief Justice John Roberts highlighted Congress's concerns about a foreign adversary gathering information on millions of Americans through TikTok.
