Supreme Court panel to hold talks with agitating farmers on January 3

In a surprising twist, President-elect Donald Trump, who previously sought to ban TikTok, is now asking the Supreme Court to delay the January 19th ban to seek a political solution. Trump's request, delivered through an amicus brief by his solicitor general pick, D. John Sauer, emphasizes the need to balance national security concerns with the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans. This move comes as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs, and Massachusetts Representative Jake Auchincloss suggested Trump's change of heart might be influenced by his popularity on the app. The TikTok saga has been a rollercoaster, with the US government pressuring ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban over alleged national security risks, which ByteDance denies. Despite multiple legal challenges and a heated debate over data privacy, TikTok continues to fight for its survival. Trump’s recent interactions with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew and his focus on connecting with Gen-Z streamers during his campaign indicate a shift in his stance. As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on January 10th, the fate of TikTok hangs in the balance, with both Trump and TikTok users eagerly awaiting the outcome.
