TikTok's long-shot strategy to escape US ban is down to SCOTUS and Trump

^{Published on 2024-12-17 14:21:04 - MSN}

TikTok is making two emergency appeals to save its social media app from a countrywide ban
one before the Supreme Court and the other to President-elect Donald Trump. Neither is guaranteed to work.

The article discusses TikTok's legal and political strategies to avoid a potential ban in the United States. Facing a deadline to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a ban, TikTok has taken its case to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the legislation forcing the sale violates free speech rights. Concurrently, TikTok has been engaging in a public relations campaign, leveraging its user base to influence public opinion and potentially sway political figures. The situation has become more complex with former President Donald Trump, who once supported banning TikTok, now showing a more favorable stance towards the app, possibly due to his evolving relationship with tech mogul Jeff Yass, who has financial interests in ByteDance. This shift in Trump's position could impact the political landscape, especially as the issue might play a role in the upcoming presidential election. The article highlights the multifaceted approach TikTok is employing, combining legal challenges with political maneuvering to navigate the threat of a U.S. ban.
