Supreme Court upholds TikTok sale-or-ban law

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to block enforcement of a federal law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a nationwide ban. The ruling finalized a years-long legal battle over national security concerns, giving the company a strict deadline to find a U.S. buyer.

The decision set off a scramble among potential buyers and reshaped how brands planned their short-video strategies for the year ahead.
