TikTok and ByteDance have turned to the United States Supreme Court to block the law that could force TikTok to be sold off or banned in the country. In an emergency filing on Monday, the social media company urged the Supreme Court to consider halting the sell-or-ban law passed earlier this year by January 6. This would give American app stores and internet hosting providers only a few weeks to prepare for the January 19 deadline, when the U.S. could potentially require them to block TikTok.

“TikTok is calling on the Court to do what it typically does in cases regarding free speech: apply the strictest scrutiny to speech restrictions and determine that it violates the First Amendment,” said TikTok spokesperson Michael Hughes in an emailed statement.

On the same day, TikTok CEO Shou Chew reportedly met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, as reported by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. This meeting followed Trump’s comments to reporters expressing his fondness for TikTok, marking a significant shift from his previous attempts to ban the app through an executive order.

The Supreme Court has long been the anticipated destination for the TikTok ban issue, and now it seems to be on its way there. TikTok has been arguing for months that this law infringes on the free speech rights of millions of users, app stores, and the company itself. However, the Department of Justice has not been swayed by this argument, recently urging a U.S. appeals court to deny ByteDance’s motion to block the law.
