In a clash between free speech and national security, the Supreme Court will soon decide whether TikTok can continue to operate in the United States. The highly anticipated hearing on January 10 will determine the fate of the popular app, which the government has sought to ban. This follows a lower court ruling upholding the ban, which is set to take effect on January 19. TikTok argues the ban violates the First Amendment, while the government contends it is necessary to protect national security. The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether TikTok can continue to operate in the United States.
For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide
