A U.S. appeals court fast tracked oral arguments over a challenge to a law that could lead to a ban on the widely popular social media app TikTok.
Washington — A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday fast-tracked oral arguments in a challenge to a law that could lead to a ban on the widely popular social media app TikTok.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit set oral arguments over the measure for sometime in September, amid time pressure for the app to be sold by its China-based owner within a year or be removed from U.S. app stores.
A group of prominent TikTok users also filed a lawsuit earlier this month challenging the law. The app has been under fire by U.S. officials for years amid warnings that China's government could gain access to its data and use it to manipulate or spy on Americans. But a renewed push against the app gained momentum in Congress earlier this year, as lawmakers approved a foreign aid package that included the provisions requiring its sale within a year.
