Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to issue a stay ahead of the impending TikTok ban, set to go into effect on Jan. 19, 2025 — a day before his inauguration.
In Friday’s filing, the president-elect questioned whether protecting Americans from the foreign adversary-controlled applications act violates their First Amendment rights. Trump’s amicus brief also stated that he wants to be given the chance to find a “political resolution” once he takes office.
This echoed a previous move made by TikTok itself to get the Supreme Court to block the ban earlier this month.
