The Latest Ruling On TikTookay & What’s Next?
Per TSR, the U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. shut down TikTookay’s try and overturn a legislation concentrating on its China-based mum or dad firm, ByteDance. The legislation calls for TikTookay lower ties with ByteDance or face a U.S. ban by mid-January. TikTookay argued the rule trashs its First Amendment rights, however the courtroom wasn’t shopping for it. Now, the video app and ByteDance plant to take their combat to the Supreme Court, although it’s unclear if the case will even make it there. Meanwhile, TikTookay spokesperson Michael Hughes stays hopeful, saying the app will come out on prime regardless of this loss.
“The Supreme Court has an established historical record of protecting Americans’ right to free speech, and we expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue. Unfortunately, the TikTok ban was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed, and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people,” Hughes stated in a press release.
