The U.S. Supreme Court decided today to hear a bid by TikTok and its China-based parent company, ByteDance, to block a law that would force the sale of the app by Jan. 19, 2025, or be banned in the U.S. According to Reuters, the justices did not immediately act on an emergency request by TikTok and some of its users to block the potential ban, opting instead to hear arguments on the matter on Jan. 10, 2025. Earlier this month, a federal appeals court upheld a law requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban.
