Description: The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the TikTok ban, set to take effect on January 19th. This decision isn’t about free speech—it’s about national security and TikTok’s ownership by ByteDance, a Chinese company accused of sharing U.S. user data with the Chinese government. What’s next? Congress might grant an extension, or a buyer could step in to take TikTok out of Chinese ownership. But with time running out, TikTok could go dark temporarily—or permanently.

Description: The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the TikTok ban, which will take effect on January 19th. This decision stems from concerns over TikTok's ownership by ByteDance, a Chinese company accused of sharing U.S. citizens' data with the Chinese government. The Court ruled that this law, supported by both Presidents Biden and Trump, is about ownership and national security—not First Amendment rights. In this video, I break down: - Why the Supreme Court upheld the ban. - The bipartisan support behind the law. - What could happen next: a potential 270-day extension from Congress or a 90-day extension if a buyer steps forward to take TikTok out of Chinese ownership. I also discuss possible buyers like Elon Musk and MrBeast, and the penalties Apple, Google, and hosting companies face if they don't comply. With just days left, TikTok could go dark temporarily—or permanently.
