Senate minority leader urges high court to
The Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it accepted TikTok’s appeal on the U.S. law, which was passed by Congress in April as part of a foreign aid package. The court will hear arguments on January 10 to determine “whether the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, as applied to petitioners, violates the First Amendment.“

“The goal of this litigation is delay,” he added.
