TikTok will be asking the Supreme Court to strike down a law that could ban the app in a matter of days. The Justice Department says the law should be upheld, since it considers China a national security threat. TikTok's parent company is based in Beijing. The wild card is President-elect Donald Trump, who has asked the high court to not rule to allow him to cut a deal that would save the service.
The main conceptual idea is that TikTok is challenging a law that could lead to its ban in the US, arguing it's unconstitutional. The US government supports the law, citing national security concerns due to TikTok's Chinese ownership. Former President Trump complicates matters by urging the Supreme Court to delay a decision, hoping to negotiate a deal that would save the app.
