TikTok may be dead unless an 11th hour miracle saves them.
According to CNN:
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial ban on TikTok may take effect this weekend, rejecting an appeal from the popular app’s owners that claimed the ban violated the First Amendment.
The court handed down an unsigned opinion and there were no noted dissents.
The decision, which followed warnings from the Biden administration that the app posed a “grave” national security threat because of its ties to China, will allow the ban to start Sunday. But there are a lot of lingering questions about how the ban would work in practice because there’s no precedent for the US government blocking a major social media platform. And how exactly the government would enforce it remains unclear.
In its opinion, the Supreme Court acknowledged that for 170 million Americans TikTok offers “a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community.”
If the ban goes through, the app will be removed from the app stores in the United States. Current users will still have it on their devices but there will be no updates nor new users, prompting a rapid degradation for the popular social media platform.
Joe Biden’s regime said they will not start enforcing the new law on Sunday when it’s supposed to take effect, leaving it to President Donald Trump to decide how to handle it after he’s inaugurated on Monday.
