Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban

So *** Federal Appeals court in DC today denied *** petition by tiktok and its parent company Bytedance to overturn *** law that would have required Bytedance to sell tiktok or face *** ban in the United States for *** number of years. Federal officials and lawmakers from both parties have come out and they've said that they're concerned that the Chinese government could potentially pressure uh Bytedance, which is based in China to hand over us user data or compel it in some way to put information on the app that is beneficial to the Beijing's interest or maybe even suppress information that Beijing would want suppressed. But the justice department hasn't really come out and said that this has actually happened in the US. So Tik Tok and Byte Dances are expected to appeal this case to the Supreme Court, but we don't know if the Supreme Court is going to take up the case. President elect Donald Trump, who in the past tried to ban tiktok has also come out and said that now he's against *** tiktok ban and he's going to try to save the app, but we really don't know what he's gonna do or how he's gonna try to deliver on that promise. The company said this morning that unless this law is stopped, that millions of American users who use Tik Tok are gonna have their voices silenced by January 19th. That is the deadline for when Bytedance must sell Tik Tok. Although the law also gives the president discretion to give *** three month extension if some sort of *** sale is in progress by that date.
