A US law requires TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the social media company to an American firm or face a ban.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The law that could ban TikTok is coming before the Supreme Court on Friday, with the justices largely holding the app’s fate in their hands. The popular social media platform says the law violates the First Amendment and should be struck down.

Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to block a federal law’s imminent ban on TikTok in the United States if the popular app’s Chinese parent company doesn’t sell it by next month’s deadline.The nation’s highest court will hear arguments in the case on January 10.
