A TikTok sign is displayed on their building in Culver City, California on March 11, 2024. If it feels like TikTok has been around forever, that’s probably because it has, at least if you’re measuring via Internet time. What’s now in question is whether it will be around much longer — and if so, in what form.
The lawsuit is the latest turn in what’s shaping up to be a protracted legal fight over TikTok’s future in the United States—and one that could end up before the Supreme Court. If TikTok loses, it says it would be forced to shut down next year. The companies argue that they should be protected by the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of expression and are seeking a declaratory judgment that it is unconstitutional.
ByteDance will first likely ask a court to temporarily block the federal law from taking effect, said Gus Hurwitz, a senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School who isn’t involved in the case. And the decision whether to grant such a preliminary injunction could decide the case, because its absence, ByteDance would need to sell TikTok before the broader case could be decided, he said.
