“The U.S. Supreme Court will likely undergo an even greater institutional stress test during President Donald Trump’s second term. Trump’s reaction to the recently concluded Supreme Court case about ownership of the social media giant TikTok has been particularly telling on this point. The suit by TikTok challenged a law enacted last year that banned the app from operating in the U.S. unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, sold it to a non-Chinese buyer within 270 days. … The companies ultimately lost the case, and the Supreme Court issued a January 17 ruling upholding the law, which meant that as of the January 19 deadline, it became illegal for TikTok to continue operations, and illegal for other companies to work with them.” (01/31/25)
