The court heard oral arguments on TikTok’s bid to block a law that would lead to its ban in the U.S. starting Jan. 19 if it isn’t sold by its Chinese owner.

The US Supreme Court appears likely to uphold a law that would force TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to sell the video-sharing platform or else shut it down.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Friday debating whether to uphold the law requiring TikTok to be sold by ByteDance or shut down in the U.S. on Jan. 19.
