TikTok, which was banned in India in 2020, is now a step closer to meeting the same fate in the United States. A US federal court last Friday rejected TikTok’s appeal challenging a law requiring it to divest from its Chinese parent company or shut up shop next month.
ET explains the case and what’s in store for the platform.
Why does the US government want to ban TikTok?
In April 2024, president Joe Biden signed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
The Act meant that the social media app, which is used by 170 million Americans, must either sell its US business to non-Chinese entities or end activities in the US in nine months – that is, by January 2025. The latest ruling upholds this law.
