TikTok and the US government faced off in the US Court of Appeals regarding the constitutionality of a law that could force the app's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its US operations or face a ban. TikTok argues that the law infringes on the First Amendment by targeting US users and restricting their choice of platform. The government contends the law is a valid national security measure aimed at protecting American data from foreign manipulation. The judges expressed skepticism over whether TikTok's operations are entitled to constitutional protections.
