TikTok inches closer to a US ban after judges shoot down appeal

The law, signed early this year, requires TikTok’s owner ByteDance to sell the app by January 19. If not, it would face a ban in the US.

“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. The biggest news stories this morning: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review, Overwatch 2 will test 6v6 role queue matches starting December 17, Android’s latest round of AI features improves accessibility, file sharing and more
