💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court is hearing a case over a statute that could force the sale or ban of TikTok in the U.S. by Jan. 19, as free speech rights clash with national security concerns. The app, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, collects data from 170 million American users and poses a threat to U.S. national security, according to the Justice Department, due to potential espionage or manipulation of content.
