Summary
TikTok’s request to pause a pending ban and January 19th sale deadline was denied by a federal appeals court.
The court upheld the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, citing national security concerns.
TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has until January 19th to sell or face a ban.
There’s that “free market” again.
China doesn’t have a free market and does not allow US-based social media in the country. Why should the US allow China to operate in the US without reciprocity?
