A TikTok ban in the US is set to go ahead on Sunday after the Supreme Court rejected an appeal, ruling that the law passed by Congress asking the app’s Chinese owner to sell its stake did not violate free speech rights.
The legal drama stems from the US government’s national security concerns and TikTok’s ties to China. Last year, ByteDance was ordered to sell the app to a US buyer or it would be banned by 19 January – that sale has not yet happened.
TikTok is one of the most popular short-form video apps in the world, and is a major part of a multi-billion dollar influencer economy.
