TikTok ban: How both sides made their case to the Supreme Court and what the justices asked

Last Friday, the US Supreme Court delved into arguments to either uphold or dismiss the law threatening to ban TikTok in America.

This legislative action, inked by President Biden in 2024, demands that ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, relinquish its American activities by January 19 or face a nationwide ban.

The session, which transpired a mere nine days before the imposed deadline, was TikTok’s final legal defense against the impending prohibition. TikTok’s attorney affirmed that, barring Supreme Court intervention, the platform is set to “go dark” on January 19.

Over a two-and-a-half-hour window, attorneys from all angles presented their cases before the Supreme Court justices. Below, we detail the critical arguments, impressions from the justices, and speculative ramifications.
