TikTok seeks temporary pause of US ban pending Supreme Court review

TIKTOK’S FUTURE IN THE UNITED STATES IS STILL UP IN THE AIR … WITH THE PLATFORM NOW ASKING A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT TO STOP THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FROM ENFORCING A LAW THAT COULD LEAD TO A BAN IN THE COMING WEEKS. 

THE COMPANY FILED THE EMERGENCY MOTION MONDAY ASKING FOR AN INJUNCTION TO PAUSE FRIDAY’S COURT OF APPEALS RULING … WHICH UPHELD THE LAW REQUIRING TIKTOK TO BE SOLD BY ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY BYTE-DANCE OR BE BANNED FROM THE U-S. 

TIKTOK ARGUES THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD TAKE UP THE CASE BEFORE THE LAW TAKES EFFECT. 

THE PAUSE ALSO GIVES THE INCOMING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TIME TO WEIGH IN AS PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP PLEDGED DURING HIS MOST RECENT CAMPAIGN TO STOP THE TIKTOK BAN – EVEN JOINING THE APP IN JUNE.

I’m gonna save tiktok. 

IF THE LAW ISN’T OVERTURNED, BOTH TIKTOK AND BYTE-DANCE SAY THE APP WILL BE SHUT DOWN BY JANUARY NINETEENTH. 

TIKTOK CURRENTLY HAS MORE THAN 170 MILLION AMERICAN USERS, WHICH MEANS THE COMPANY WOULD LOSE ABOUT A THIRD OF ITS DAILY USERS.

ATTORNEYS FOR THE TWO COMPANIES ARE ASKING THE APPEALS COURT TO DECIDE ON THE REQUEST FOR AN ENFORCEMENT PAUSE BY DECEMBER SIXTEENTH.

FOR SAN – I’M KARAH RUCKER.
