The Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10th regarding a law that could ban TikTok in the US. The law, passed with bipartisan support, sets a January 19th deadline for TikTok to be sold or face a ban. TikTok argues the law violates the First Amendment, while the Biden administration defends it. The court could halt the law's implementation pending a final ruling.

The justices will hear arguments Jan. 10 about whether the law impermissibly restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment ., enacted in April, set a Jan. 19 deadline for TikTok to be sold or else face a ban in the United States. The popular social media platform has more than 170 million users in the U.S.It’s unclear how quickly a decision might come.

The timing of the arguments means that the outgoing Biden administration’s Justice Department will make the case in defense of the law that passed Congress with bipartisan support and was signed by Democratic President, who once supported a ban but then pledged during the campaign to “save TikTok,” has said his administration would take a look at the situation. Trump met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Monday.
