The law that could ban TikTok is coming before the Supreme Court. The justices largely hold the app’s fate in their hands as they hear the case Friday.

TikTok has just ten days until it faces a possible ban in the US. If the Supreme Court declines to halt the law before January 19th, and TikTok isn’t spun off from its Chinese parent company ByteDance, companies like Apple and Google will be forced to stop maintaining the app in their app stores or letting it push updates.

A majority of the Supreme Court appeared likely to uphold a controversial ban on TikTok over concerns about its ties to China, with justices lobbing pointed questions at lawyers for the social media app and a group of its content creators.

The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a new law that could force TikTok to shut down in the U.S., with conservative and liberal justices alike expressing skepticism about the legal challenge.

The Supreme Court will decide the fate of TikTok in the U.S. as a federal ban on foreign-adversary owned apps is set to take effect Jan. 19.

The Supreme Court justices sounded highly skeptical Friday of TikTok's free-speech defense, signaling they are not likely to strike down the law that could shut down the popular video site the day before President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office.

Justice Neil Gorsuch criticized "the government's attempt to lodge secret evidence in this case." Still, things look grim for the app.

Supreme Court justices appeared to be skeptical toward TikTok's arguments when challenging a law that may result in it being banned.

The Supreme Court seemed inclined on Friday to uphold a law that would force a sale or ban the popular short-video app TikTok in the United States by Jan. 19, with the justices focusing on the national security concerns about China that prompted the crackdown.

The justices, who asked tough questions of both sides, showed skepticism toward arguments by lawyers for TikTok and its users.

Congress says the popular video app poses a looming threat to the nation’s security because of its Chinese owner. What the justices decide could determine if the app is shut down.
