The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in a decision by a three-judge panel, declined to consider an appeal from TikTok and its parent company ByteDance. The law is set to take effect on January 19, although President Joe Biden could postpone the ban for 90 days if a sale is underway at that time. Concerns about potential spying on TikTok&#8217;s 170 million American users by China have prompted bipartisan legislative action. The ruling opens the door for an appeal to the Supreme Court, which may either pause the law or allow it to be implemented while considering the case. Senior Judge Douglas Ginsburg noted that parts of the Act concerning TikTok withstand constitutional scrutiny and emphasized that national security concerns justify the government&#8217;s actions against foreign threats<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2377182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TikTok.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40332,32546,32364,44415,6248],"class_list":["post-2377181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-court-of-appeals","tag-legal-decision","tag-social-media","tag-technology-news","tag-tiktok"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TikTok.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2377181"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2377185,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2377181\/revisions\/2377185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2377182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2377181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2377181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2377181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
