TIKTOK INCHES CLOSER TO A US BAN AFTER JUDGES SHOOT DOWN APPEAL


THE UPHELD LAW REQUIRES OWNER BYTEDANCE TO SELL THE APP BY JANUARY 19 OR FACE A
BAN.

Three judges shot down ByteDance’s petition to overturn a law that could ban
TikTok in the US. On Friday, The New York Times reported that the judges upheld
the new law, which requires the company to sell the app to a non-Chinese company
by January 19 or face a ban.

ByteDance argued that the law unfairly targets TikTok and that a ban would
violate users’ First Amendment rights. The company has said a sale is impossible
because the Chinese government would block it. In 2020, the country updated
export control rules to give it more say over a potential transaction.



In a statement to Engadget, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said it was
disappointed in the decision. “Restricting the free flow of information, even
from foreign adversaries, is fundamentally undemocratic,” an EFF spokesperson
wrote. “Until now, the U.S. has championed the free flow of information and
called out other nations when they have shut down internet access or banned
online communications tools like social media apps."

ByteDance’s options from here include appealing to the US Supreme Court
(although there’s no guarantee they would take the case) or hoping
President-elect Donald Trump follows through on a vague promise to “deliver” on
a plan to save the app. ByteDance suggested on Friday that the decision amounted
to censorship, saying it expects the Supreme Court to protect “Americans' right
to free speech.”

The NYT reports that legal experts don’t see much of a legal path for Trump to
rescue the app after taking office on January 20, 2025. During his first term,
he issued executive orders restricting American dealings with the app, citing
national security concerns and suggesting the app could be a Trojan Horse for
data harvesting by the Chinese government. Microsoft was ready and willing to
buy it if given the chance. The ban faced a series of legal challenges, and
President Biden revoked the order in 2021.

Trump reversed his position in early 2024, reportedly after meeting with a
Republican megadonor with a significant financial stake in the app. The
president-elect’s shift intensified after Biden signed the law that could lead
to its ban in early 2025. By the time election season was in full swing, Trump
had recast himself as TikTok’s savior and used it as a wedge issue to attract
younger users to his campaign.
