With neither the Supreme Court nor the Biden administration having intervened, TikTok's CEO addressed Trump in his reaction to the ban being upheld.
The fate of Tiktok is in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump after the Supreme Court upheld the ban Friday..
The Supreme Court upheld the law banning TikTok in the U.S. if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, couldn't facilitate a sale.
The company argued that the law, citing potential Chinese threats to the nation’s security, violated its First Amendment rights and those of its 170 million users.
Donald Trump had asked the Supreme Court to delay TikTok’s ban-or-sale law to give him an opportunity to act once he returns to the White House.
That decision shifts the focus to whether President-elect Donald Trump can intervene after he takes office on Monday.
The President-elect will decide the ultimate fate of the social media app set to be banned in the U.S. the day before his inauguration.
TikTok CEO Shou Chew on Friday thanked President-elect Donald Trump for supporting the company's efforts to remain available to U.S. users.
