TikTok Ban: Can Uncle Sam Stop the ByteDance Beat?
2025-01-11
The Supreme Court is considering a law that could ban TikTok in the US. However, experts question whether a ban would be effective, citing the law's vagueness and the ease with which users could circumvent it using VPNs, pre-downloaded apps, or alternative download methods. The law doesn't mandate internet providers to block TikTok access or users to delete the app. While Apple and Google app stores would be required to remove TikTok, determined users could still find ways to access the platform, highlighting the challenges of enforcing a nationwide ban on an internet-based service.
