Supreme Court Greenlights TikTok Ban, Citing National Security Concerns
US Supreme Court handed down its decision on Friday siding with a federal law that would likely lead to the ban of the Chinese social media application, TikTok. The ruling gives credence to the legislation signed into law last year by former President Joe Biden, addressing concerns about national security that have been linked to the app’s Chinese origins.
As held at the hearing, legislation does not breach the rights offered under First Amendment on freedom of speech. Justices have produced an unsigned opinion wherein no dissents are available which upheld government view about how risks concerning security existed while allowing application like TikTok.
The Biden administration has been using the rhetoric that TikTok poses a significant national security threat as it is owned by China. The Supreme Court’s decision allowed the ban to be enforced as of Sunday, January 19.
This ruling would be a key step in an ongoing debate concerning the security concerns of foreign-owned technology platforms operating in the US.
