TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, asked the U.S. Supreme Court, on Monday, to intervene in its impending nationwide ban by blocking the law that would remove the app from millions of users.
In its filing, the popular social media app alleged that banning the app would “shutter” one of the most popular speech platforms at a highly political moment on January 19, just one day before Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated.
