  • The justices will hear oral arguments on the TikTok ban Friday morning. The case raises questions about free speech and national security.

The article from Deseret News discusses the potential implications of a Supreme Court case involving TikTok, which could lead to a nationwide ban of the app. The case stems from concerns over national security, data privacy, and the influence of the Chinese government through ByteDance, TikTok's parent company. The Supreme Court is considering whether to uphold or strike down a law that would force ByteDance to divest from TikTok or face a ban in the U.S. Key points include the debate over First Amendment rights, the economic impact on content creators and businesses, and the broader geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China. The article also touches on the arguments from both sides: supporters of the ban argue it's necessary for national security, while opponents highlight the infringement on free speech and the potential economic fallout. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how the U.S. handles digital platforms with foreign ownership.
