TikTok and its parent company ByteDance are set for a pivotal court hearing on Monday, which could determine the app’s future in the United States. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia will hear arguments on a legal challenge aimed at blocking a law that could potentially ban TikTok—a platform used by 170 million Americans—by January 19.
The timing of this hearing places TikTok’s fate at a critical juncture, coinciding with the final weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Notably, both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are actively engaging with younger voters on TikTok, underscoring the app’s significance in the current political landscape.
