A TikTok ban in the United States is becoming more likely. On Friday, the nine Supreme Court judges heard oral arguments on the case. Noel Francisco, TikTok’s lawyer, also spoke at the two-hour hearing. The judges rejected his argument that a ban would curtail the right to freedom of speech guaranteed by the US Constitution. They also expressed doubts about the Chinese parent company ByteDance’s assertion that a spin-off of TikTok in the USA was „impossible.“
