On Friday, a US court upheld a law that could see TikTok removed from American app stores unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells its stake by 19 January.
TikTok promptly announced plans to challenge the ruling, stating it would appeal to the Supreme Court on First Amendment grounds. In a statement, the company argued, "Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed, and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people."
