TikTok Ban Update: DOJ Opposes Delay
The U.S. Department of Justice is urging an appeals court to reject TikTok's request to halt the ban set to take effect on January 19th. The DOJ argues that continued Chinese ownership of TikTok presents an ongoing national security risk. TikTok's emergency motion sought a delay to allow Supreme Court review and the incoming administration time to assess the situation. Read more about the incoming administration's potential stance.
Key Arguments
- DOJ: TikTok under Chinese ownership is a national security threat.
- TikTok: A delay is needed for Supreme Court review and new administration input.
This legal battle continues as TikTok faces a potential ban in the U.S. unless it separates from its Chinese ownership. For related news on tech policy, see Apple Wallet's expansion into digital IDs and iOS 19's delayed release.
