This Chinese social media app has a ‘request’ for US court

TikTok and ByteDance have requested a US appeals court to temporarily halt a law mandating TikTok’s divestiture by January 19. They argue a ban would disrupt over 170 million US users and are hopeful the Supreme Court will intervene. The companies also point to President-elect Trump’s opposition to a ban, seeking time for the incoming administration to review the situation.
