The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear TikTok owner ByteDance's appeal of a law that could ban the app. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is set to go into effect on January 19, the day before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. ByteDance claimed the law violates free speech rights, a position the ACLU has supported.
