US Supreme Court agrees to review law banning Chinese-owned TikTok

Quick Summary:

The arguments over whether the law violates freedom of speech protected by the US Constitution will be heard on January 10.

TikTok had urged the court to “do what it has traditionally done in free speech cases: apply the most rigorous scrutiny to speech bans and conclude that it violates the First Amendment”.

The US Supreme Court said on Wednesday that it had agreed to review a US law that mandates a nationwide ban of the popular Chinese-owned video app TikTok if it fails to secure a non-Chinese buyer by January 19.
