Why TikTok faces a US ban, and what's next?
TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, have prompted the U.S. government to pass legislation banning the social media platform unless it is sold to a government-approved buyer.
President Joe Biden signed into law legislation that gives ByteDance up to a year to divest from TikTok. The company lost its first legal effort to overturn the law on Friday, when a panel of three federal judges unanimously rejected TikTok's argument that the law violated the First Amendment. The company pledged to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
TikTok, which boasts 170 million users in the United States, could be banned as soon as mid-January, unless it receives a court-ordered injunction that would pause the law from taking effect as the appeal proceeds. There is also a chance that President-elect Donald Trump will try to rescue the app.
Here's why the pressure has been ratcheted up on TikTok.
It all comes down to China.
