A Federal Appeals Court has upheld the U.S. law mandating ByteDance to sell TikTok by January 19 or face a ban, citing national security concerns. The court dismissed TikTok’s claim that the law violates the First Amendment, noting compelling government evidence against TikTok. Despite TikTok’s argument, Judge Douglas Ginsburg emphasized the bipartisan agreement on the law, highlighting its focus on addressing threats posed by the People’s Republic of China. While President-elect Trump has not declared his stance, ByteDance plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. Source
