TikTok Seeks Supreme Court Intervention to Delay U.S. Ban

TikTok has requested a federal court to pause a ruling that upholds a law potentially banning the app in the U.S., as it plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. The company argues that the pause would allow the incoming Trump administration to address the issue, potentially preventing the ban. TikTok claims that enforcing the ban would cause significant harm to its user base and business operations. The appeals court is asked to decide on the pause by December 16, while legal experts remain skeptical about Trump's ability to block the ban effectively.

Brazilian Court Overturns Telegram Ban Over Data Demand.

A federal appeals court in Brazil has lifted the nationwide ban on Telegram, ruling that a complete suspension of the messaging app was "not reasonable" given the thousands of people in Brazil who rely on it for communication. However, the daily $200,000 fine on Telegram for failing to provide local authorities with the data they requested has been upheld. The ban was initially put in place after Telegram failed to hand over a full set of data on neo-Nazi groups on the app accused of inciting violence against schools.

Montana Makes History with First Statewide TikTok Ban

Montana's House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban TikTok in the state, citing concerns over the Chinese government's potential to hoard US user data. If signed into law by the governor, Montana would become the first state to ban TikTok downloads. Violators would face a fine of $10,000 a day, and the law would start in January 2024, allowing TikTok to launch a federal court appeal. The Biden administration is negotiating with the company about divesting from its Beijing corporate parent, and Congress is working on a bill to ban apps controlled by "foreign adversaries."

Montana becomes first US state to ban TikTok

Montana legislators have passed a bill to ban TikTok from operating in the state, citing concerns over the app's ties to China. The bill would prohibit mobile app stores from offering TikTok for download to users in Montana, and TikTok, as well as Apple and Google, would face fines if they violate the ban. TikTok has denied sharing data with the Chinese government and is working on an initiative to store American user data in the US on servers operated by Oracle.
