Appeals Court Upholds TikTok Ban, Paving Way for Potential Sale

A federal court is set to rule on whether to uphold a U.S. ban on TikTok, which requires the app to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance. TikTok argues the ban violates its First Amendment rights and is technologically and commercially unfeasible. The U.S. government claims the ban is necessary for national security. The court's decision could lead to an appeal to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, President-elect Trump, who previously supported a ban, may now oppose it due to political and financial influences.
