President-elect Donald Trump has urged the Supreme Court to pause the controversial ban on TikTok, set to take effect next month, to allow for a negotiated resolution. The Biden administration, however, defended the ban citing national security concerns.
The pending case questions whether the TikTok ban approved by Congress violates the First Amendment. Trump, in a 'friend-of-the-court' brief, requested a delay in the ban's implementation, emphasizing the need to preserve Americans' First Amendment rights while addressing national security concerns.
