A panel of three federal Appeals Court judges unanimously upheld a law that could potentially ban TikTok in the U.S. The legislation, passed in April and signed by President Biden, requires TikTok to sell to an American owner by Jan. 19, 2025, or face a ban. The court’s decision acknowledged the significant implications for TikTok and its users, stating that if the platform does not divest, it will be unavailable in the U.S. President-elect Trump has the authority to grant a 90-day extension based on progress towards the divestiture order. During his campaign, Trump promised to “save TikTok” if elected. This is a developing story, and the article will be updated as more information becomes available.
