TikTok's parent company, Bytedance, has lost an appeal against a US court order requiring the sale of the popular video platform, with the case now likely heading to the Supreme Court. The law, enacted by President Biden, mandates the sale by January 19 or face a ban from US app stores, amid concerns of user data misuse linked to the Chinese government. The appeals court upheld the government's stance on national security, dismissing TikTok's claims of speculative concerns and censorship.
