Today, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld a law that threatens to shut down the wildly popular social media app TikTok as soon as Sunday.
The justices ruled that free speech rights must yield to concerns that Chinese control of the app creates a national security risk. With just three days left in office, President Biden has said that the enforcement of the ban will now fall to the incoming Trump administration.
Our White House correspondent, Laura Barron-Lopez, has been covering this and more and joins us now.
So, Laura, let’s start with this TikTok decision. And we should say for the unfamiliar, it’s not the content that’s the issue. It’s the ownership and this judgment by U.S. officials and lawmakers that presents a national security threat.
How is the Biden administration going to handle this?
