How much influence does the Chinese government have at TikTok?
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on December 6, 2024, upheld a law requiring TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the video app by January 19, 2025, or face a nationwide ban on the app. The court rebuffed TikTok’s claim that the law violates its First Amendment rights.
