Supreme court upholds TikTok sale-or-ban law


The supreme court has allowed to go into effect a law that will force TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell its US business by Sunday, or face a ban

Qian Huang, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands who studies Asian youth and digital culture, said that she originally downloaded RedNote to keep up with Chinese trends. The tech reporter Ryan Broderick noted on his Garbage Day newsletter that Black TikTok beauty influencers had seen RedNote’s potential for makeup tutorials and trend-spotting before the hearing. The supreme court has announced it will release opinions at 10am ET today, as a challenge to a law that will ban TikTok on Sunday unless its China-based owner sells its US business awaits the justices’ decision.
