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\u2019t shopping for it. Now, the video app and ByteDance plant to take their combat to the Supreme Court, although it\u2019s unclear if the case will even make it there.
