Content creator reacts to Supreme Court decision to ban TikTokThe VA Foodies are starting to create content on YouTube shorts to reach a new audience in light of the TikTok debate.
Say goodbye to your favorite app. After hearing arguments from the Department of Justice, ByteDance, and TikTok users last Friday, the Supreme Court says it will uphold the nationwide TikTok ban slated for January 19.
As the U.S. TikTok ban proceeds, fans need to find other short-video apps to use. Here are the ones that are most popular right now.
In an unsigned opinion, the Court sided with the national security concerns about TikTok over First Amendment rights. There were no noted dissents.
The Supreme Court concluded that the app's ban doesn't violate users' rights to freedom of speech and expression, and is instead worried about data collection.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld a law passed in Congress that bans TikTok, which could lead to 3.7 million users in Michigan losing the use of the app as soon as Sunday. The court's decision shifts focus to President-elect Donald Trump, who still can intervene after he is sworn into office on Monday.
