TikTok has 15 minutes to fight for its life
CNN
Fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes. That’s how much time TikTok will have this week to dissuade a federal appeals court from supporting a possible US ban of its social media app, which is used by 170 million Americans. Those 15 minutes could well be the most significant of TikTok’s US existence. The company is fighting for survival in the face of a law, signed by President Joe Biden, whose key provisions could kick in as soon as January. The law Biden signed seeks to ban TikTok on Americans’ personal devices unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, quickly sells TikTok to someone else — which may effectively end the app as we currently know it. As the deadline nears for a potential ban, TikTok and ByteDance have gone to court asking for the law to be blocked and declared unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds. TikTok will not get the luxury of a full trial to argue for its continued existence in its current form.
