💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge by TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance against a law that could force a sale or ban of the app due to national security concerns. The justices are concerned about the potential for China to access sensitive data and use it for espionage or covert influence operations. TikTok argues that the law infringes on their First Amendment rights and is content-based, singling out the app for unique treatment.
