The law will ban the video app in the United States by Jan. 19 if its owner, ByteDance, does not sell it to a non-Chinese company.<\/p>\n

TikTok is one step closer to disappearing in the United States after a panel of federal judges on Friday upheld a new law that could lead to the banning of the popular Chinese-owned video app by mid-January.<\/p>\n

The three judges, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, denied TikTok\u2019s petition to overturn the law. The decision could be a death blow for the app in one of its biggest markets. More than 170 million Americans use TikTok to entertain and inform themselves, turning it into a cultural phenomenon. The looming loss of the app in the United States had spurred concern from free speech advocates and from the creators whose income depends on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The decision also raises new questions for President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has repeatedly signaled his support for the app, but who doesn\u2019t have a clear path for rescuing it under the new law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The law, signed in<\/a> April, requires TikTok\u2019s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app to a non-Chinese company by Jan. 19 or face a ban in the United States. TikTok, which has been in the cross hairs of politicians since 2020 because of its ties to China, has said a sale is impossible, in part because it would be blocked<\/a> by the Chinese government. The company argued that the law unfairly singled out TikTok and that a ban would infringe on the First Amendment rights of American users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The judges disagreed with TikTok\u2019s argument. They said the law was \u201ccarefully crafted to deal with only control by a foreign adversary,\u201d and didn\u2019t run afoul of the First Amendment. \u201cThe government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nation and to limit that adversary\u2019s ability to gather data on people in the United States,\u201d the judges wrote on Friday.<\/p>\n
