The U.S. Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism towards TikTok's free-speech arguments, intensifying pressure on the app as its parent company, ByteDance, faces a January 19 deadline to divest or risk a U.S. ban. Legal experts predict the court may uphold the law requiring divestment due to concerns over data access by the Chinese government. TikTok contended that its algorithm is a form of protected speech, while justices highlighted national security risks associated with data collection from its 170 million U.S. users. The outcome could significantly impact TikTok and its competitors in the social media landscape.
