TikTok is reportedly prepared to shut down its app on Sunday, when the ban is scheduled to take effect, though the actual language of the law technically only mandates that the social media platform be taken off of app stores to prevent new users from downloading it.

US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch called on Congress or the judiciary’s committee responsible for drafting rules for federal courts to address the government’s use of classified evidence that’s shielded from litigants.

The US Supreme Court has upheld the law mandating China-based ByteDance to divest its ownership of TikTok by Sunday, or face an effective ban of the popular video-sharing app in the United States. The ruling underscores growing national security concerns tied to TikTok’s data collection practices and alleged links to the Chinese government,

The Supreme Court seemed to lean Thursday toward upholding a law forcing Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell off TikTok, with all nine justices indicating national security concerns posed by the social media app outweighed potential threats to free speech.

"I cannot profess the kind of certainty I would like to have about the arguments and record before us," writes Justice Gorsuch.

The US Supreme Court upheld a law to force TikTok’s sale from a Chinese state-owned firm, even as President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have sought to block the divestment.

With a TikTok ban scheduled to go into effect in the United States on Sunday, many users began to see messages preventing them from using the app when they opened it after 10 p.m. Eastern on Saturday.

The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a new law that could force TikTok to shut down in the U.S., with conservative and liberal justices alike expressing skepticism about the legal challenge.

The Supreme Court seems skeptical of the Chinese-owned platform’s First Amendment claim.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch expressed concerns Friday that ... Sunday to either divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face a ban in the U.S. Gorsuch wrote he was persuaded ...

The Supreme Court appeared ready to uphold a law that will ban TikTok in the U.S. if its Chinese owners don't sell the widly popular platform.
