  • A U.S. appeals court has declined to block a ban of TikTok in the U.S., according to a court document filed on Friday. Shares of competing social media companies Meta Platforms and Snap were rising 2.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a ban on TikTok, preventing the app from being downloaded on government devices due to national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. This decision has led to a rise in stock prices for Meta Platforms and Snap Inc., as investors anticipate that these companies might benefit from TikTok's potential decline in the U.S. market. The ban reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China regarding data privacy and security, with fears that TikTok could be used for espionage or propaganda. Despite TikTok's efforts to distance itself from its parent company, ByteDance, and assurances of data protection, the court sided with the government's security concerns. This ruling could set a precedent for further restrictions on TikTok and similar apps, potentially reshaping the social media landscape in the U.S.
