Haryy Nb4Federal appeals court upholds TikTok ban
In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Trump administration’s ban on TikTok, dealing a major blow to the popular social media platform. The court held that the Executive Order, which labeled the app a “threat to national security,” was a permissible use of presidential authority.
While the decision is a setback for TikTok, it does not necessarily mean the end for the app in the United States. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is reportedly in talks with potential buyers who could potentially keep the app operating.
The battle over TikTok is likely to continue, with the possibility of further legal challenges and political maneuvering. However, the appeals court’s ruling has significantly strengthened the Trump administration’s position and made it more difficult for TikTok to operate in the United States.
