Tiktok In Court Over U.S. Law That Could Lead To Ban Of Platform

2 days ago TikTok faced off with the U.S. government in federal court on Monday, arguing a law that could ban the platform in a few short months was unconstitutional. But the Justice Department said during the hearing the measure is needed to eliminate a national security risk posed by the popular social media company. Attorneys for the two sides - and content creators - appeared before a panel of three judges at a federal appeals court in Washington. TikTok and its China-based parent company, ByteDance, are challenging the law that is forcing them to break ties by mid-January or lose one of their biggest markets in the world.
