The Supreme Court appears likely to uphold a divest-or-ban law on TikTok, with justices expressing agreement that the Chinese-controlled app's parent company does not have a fundamental right to free speech in America. The Court's decision, expected next week, comes amid uncertainty as to how President Trump will handle the situation, as he has promised to save the app. TikTok argues that a forced divestment from its parent company violates its right to free speech, claiming that without the proprietary technology, the app will cease to exist. However, the justices argue that TikTok can find an American alternative and still operate on its own terms.
