US Supreme Court will consider request to postpone TikTok ban
The Supreme Court did not immediately accept the request for an emergency stay made by TikTok and ByteDance, as well as some users who share content on the platform. Instead, the court set January 10 to hear arguments on the matter. TikTok and ByteDance argued that the ban violated the freedom of expression of the platform’s millions of American users.
TikTok and ByteDance appealed to the Supreme Court to invalidate the law.

It was also emphasized that the withdrawal of advertisers and content producers from the platform could lead to serious financial losses.
