Abstract
On January 17, 2025, the Supreme Court in TikTok Inc. v. Garland upheld the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (the “Act”),[2] effectively banning TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells its American operations. This decision impacts over 170 million Americans and presents a significant threat to their First Amendment rights.
