Tiktok is closer to being banned in the US: El Pasoans voice mixed reactions as TikTok ban looms due to national security threats
TikTok has lost its bid to strike down a law that could result in platform being banned in US.
A US appeals court upheld the law in ruling Friday.
Denying TikTok argument that law was unconstitutional the judges found that law does not contravene the First Amendment to Constitution of the US nor does it violate the Fifth Amendment guarantee of equal protection of laws.
The ruling means platform is one step closer to facing a US ban until it can convince Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell and find a buyer starting on January 19, 2025.
