Summary
TikTok, with 170 million US users, faces a nationwide US ban starting January 19 unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform.
A court rejected ByteDance’s bid to delay the ban, forcing TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The US government cites national security concerns over data collection, while TikTok argues its US user data is stored domestically.
President Biden may grant a 90-day extension, but the decision could fall to Trump, who has opposed banning TikTok.
It isnt the echo chambers, I get that. But it is the “social media” part. I have no desire to put anything personal on the internet, and don’t find anyone else’s shit all that interesting either. That is the part I have no use for, at least on someone elses device, public, and corporate.
