The Supreme Court held arguments Friday on Tiktok and ByteDance's challenge to the law. A lawyer for the companies, Noel Francisco, said it would be impossible to complete a sale by next week's deadline.
Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days if he certifies ByteDance is making substantial progress toward a divestiture but it is unlikely ByteDance could meet that standard.
“A ban would dismantle a one-of-a-kind informational and cultural ecosystem, silencing millions in the process,“ Markey said Monday.
President-elect Donald Trump has asked the court to delay implementation of the law, arguing he should have time after taking office on Jan. 20 to pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.
If the court does not block the law by Sunday, new downloads of TikTok on Apple or Google app stores would be banned but existing users could continue to access the app for some period. Services would degrade and eventually stop working as companies will be barred from providing support.
