The US Supreme Court approved the law requiring the sale or banning of TikTok

According to RCO News Agency, this law, which will be enforced from Sunday, was approved for reasons related to national security and relations with China.

This decision could be the end of TikTok’s activities in America. The Supreme Court of the United States stated in its decision: “There is no doubt that TikTok is a unique source of interaction and community for more than 170 million Americans, but Congress believes that handing over this application to address national security concerns related to TikTok’s data collection and It is necessary to connect it with a foreign competitor.

The court accepted the government’s arguments that Chinese ownership of TikTok poses a threat to US national security. According to this ruling, Congress has the right to force the company that owns TikTok to choose between selling or ceasing operations.

This decision, which was taken with an unprecedented speed, has wide-ranging effects on freedom of expression and security issues. TikTok’s lawyer told judges last week that if the case was lost, the app would “shut down.”

This ruling was issued a few days before the possible ban and before the inauguration of the US President-elect Donald Trump. Trump had asked the judges to temporarily halt the implementation of the law so that he could address the issue after taking office.
