A major-blow hit TikTok when DC federal appeals court threw out their legal fight against new US law (which forces the app to break-up with its China-based owner ByteDance); the ruling came on dec 6th
The three-judge panel made a clear-cut decision: the law passed all constitutional tests despite TikTok and ByteDance claiming it hurt both companies and US users rights. The social-media giant now faces a tough choice – either cut parent company ties or stop working in america by mid-january
The courtʼs decision shows how US government keeps pushing chinese-owned tech companies away from american market; this ruling means TikTok must act fast to keep its spot in US social-media space. The platform that has over 170M active US users needs quick solutions to avoid getting kicked-out from one of its biggest markets
