  • The company challenges the notion that Congress can shut down a platform based on its content moderation choices, emphasizing its role for 170 million American users.
  • In response, the US Department of Justice clarifies that the law does not interfere with First Amendment rights and addresses data collection concerns posed by foreign entities.
  • The Supreme Court has agreed to hear this case on January 10, following a previous ruling that upheld the law aimed at foreign adversaries.
  • Former President Trump also submitted an amicus brief, advocating for a delay in the ban, highlighting TikTok's influence on young voters.
