The Biggest TikTok Challenge Is On Its Way

The showdown between ByteDance and Congress has had people on the edges of their seats, not just to see how it plays out, but when. Mark your calendars, we are just a few months from the free speech fight many have been waiting for. From Reuters:

• A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday set a fast-track schedule to consider the legal challenges to a new law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok’s U.S. assets by Jan. 19 or face a ban.
• The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ordered the case set for oral arguments in September after TikTok, ByteDance and a group of TikTok content creators joined with the Justice Department earlier this month in asking the court for a quick schedule.
• …
• Under the appeals court schedule, the creators, TikTok and ByteDance must file legal briefs by June 20 and the Justice Department by July 26, with reply briefs due by Aug. 15.

Three weeks!? Between explaining why the dancing app actually poses a national security threat and the potential Mitt Romney mention, the briefs are shaping up to be riveting (…by legal standards, at least)! And as important as it is to take things as they come, TikTok and the DOJ seem prepared to take this case all the way to the Supreme Court.
