President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to delay a ban on TikTok so he can find a way to save the social media app that he once tried to bar from the U.S.
TikTok faces a ban if its parent company, ByteDance, does not follow a new federal law that requires it to be sold to a non-Chinese company by Jan. 19, the day before Trump is inaugurated. The law received bipartisan support from members of Congress, who said because the app can track and collect data on its 170 million American users, it poses a national security risk.
