Federal judges affirm law that may prohibit TikTok, suggest platform may not be accessible in U.S.

Three federal Appeals Court judges have unanimously upheld a law that could potentially lead to a ban of TikTok in the U.S. The legislation, which was passed in April and signed into law by President Joe Biden, requires TikTok to be sold to an American owner by January 19, 2025, or face a ban. The court’s majority opinion noted that this decision will have significant implications for TikTok and its users, as the platform may become unavailable in the U.S. if it does not divest. President-elect Donald Trump has the authority to grant a 90-day extension based on progress toward the divestiture order. Trump had previously stated that he would “save TikTok” if elected. This is a developing story, and more updates are expected in the future.
