TikTok is expected to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that TikTok must be sold or face a ban in the U.S., according to a new report from the, upholding a law passed earlier this year that forces the social media platform’s Chinese parent company to divest. The law received bipartisan support in Congress but there are still questions about what might happen when incoming president Donald Trump, who previously supported a ban before doing a complete 180, takes office on Jan. 20, 2025.
TikTok has denied that Beijing has ever spied on Americans or sought to influence the platform despite what the U.S intelligence community has argued. Every platform collects large amounts of data on its users, but the concern from American leaders is that this data is being used by an enormous faceless corporation on the other side of the world rather than good, red-bloodedfaceless corporations here at home. TikTok is widely expected to appeal the ruling to the U.S.
Then something very odd happened. Trump changed his mind. “If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!” Trumpthat the once and future president indeed plans to stop the law, citing “people familiar with his views on the matter.” There’s just no clarity on how he’ll do that.
The other option, telling his Attorney General to not enforce the law, obviously makes a mockery of the entire U.S. judicial system. And nobody knows at this point whether Trump can ram one of his nominees through Senate approval in order to make that happen. Trump first nominated Matt Gaetz, the now-former Congressman from Florida who had his nomination derailed by allegations he slept had sex with a 17-year-old and engaged in illicit drug use, charges he denies.
