U.S. Justice Department Asks Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Request to Delay TikTok Ban, Arguments Set for Jan. 10
The U.S. Department of Justice recently filed documents with the Supreme Court asking to reject President-elect Donald Trump's request to delay the implementation of the TikTok ban.
The ban requires ByteHop to sell its assets in the U.S. by Jan. 19, 2025, or face an injunction. Trump hopes to reach a negotiated settlement with TikTok after his inauguration, but the Department of Justice has said it can only consider Trump's request if ByteDance can demonstrate a likelihood of success.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to argue the case on Jan. 10, which involves significant legal issues of national security and freedom of speech that are of high concern to TikTok and its creators, as the ban could affect the experience of 170 million U.S. users.
