The Supreme Court just gave a thumbs-up to a law that could ban TikTok. Confused? Let's break it down. The law says TikTok, owned by a Chinese company, could be a spy tool. The court agreed, so now TikTok has to sell or the app could be gone come Sunday. But wait, there's more. The new president, Trump, might not enforce it, and Biden isn't either. So, what's the deal? It's a messy situation where the law is there, but no one might follow it.
Companies that don't comply could face big trouble later. The court thinks the spying risk is huge, but they also say this law is special and shouldn't set a precedent for other companies. It's like they're saying, "TikTok is different, guys. " The ban isn't content-based, so it doesn't get the tough scrutiny other speech laws do. For now, TikTok's future is up in the air.
