The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this week in a case challenging a law that seeks to ban the popular app TikTok in the United States if it is not sold by its owner, Byte Dance, which is based in China.

TikTok’s future in the United States now sits squarely in the hands of the Supreme Court, which will hear oral arguments Friday. At its core, the case features a head-on collision between national security and the First Amendment.

The president-elect backed TikTok in a Truth Social post Friday as he tries to halt the law from taking effect.

President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.

The Supreme Court hears a challenge on Friday to a federal law that will ban TikTok if the Chinese parent company ByteDance doesn’t sell the popular social media app.

The Supreme Court should follow Trump’s request to let him take office and work out a deal. Better, it should just reject H.R. 7521 entirely as an affront to free people.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Friday from TikTok and its China-based owner ByteDance, which is seeking to block a law signed by President Joe Biden that will ban the short-form video app beginning Jan.
