Part 7/10:
In the tech world, TikTok faced a substantial legal hurdle as a federal appeals court upheld a law that could effectively ban the app in the U.S. Citing national security concerns, the court ruled that TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, must either divest the app to an American owner or face a potential ban.
Implications for Users and Businesses
The decision has echoed within the community of American users who rely heavily on the platform for both entertainment and means of income. Small businesses involved in content creation on TikTok are particularly anxious about the implications of such a ban and what it means for their livelihood.
