This week’s Caveat Briefing covers the story of how a federal appeals court upheld a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a U.S. ban by January 19, 2025, citing national security concerns. TikTok, arguing the law violates First Amendment rights, plans to appeal to the Supreme Court amid ongoing debates over censorship, free speech, and foreign influence. Curious about the details?
