Should the US Supreme Court uphold the ban on TikTok as determined by the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA), the video-sharing social networking service faces an unprecedented technological clampdown in the US. This potential ban may result in significant economic impact, affecting around 170 million American users, including influencers and businesses that rely on the app for income and promotion. The ruling will hinge on weighing national security risks against First Amendment rights, with implications for online expression, economic factors, and potential data privacy concerns due to the app’s Chinese ownership.
