TikTok files emergency motion to stop ban from taking place

TikTok filed an emergency motion for an injunction with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to halt its looming ban.

TikTok and ByteDance, its China-based parent company, will be banned in the U.S. on Jan. 19, 2025, unless ByteDance divests. If successful, the motion would stop the ban from taking place while the company’s appeal of the decision by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is heard by the Supreme Court.
