TikTok has said the Chinese regime will not allow its sale.

A three-judge panel on Dec. 6 rejected TikTok, ByteDance, and a group of TikTok users’ challenge of a law that requires the app to cut ties with the Chinese communist regime in order to continue operating in the United States.

TikTok now faces a Jan. 19, 2025, ban, unless President Joe Biden issues a 90-day extension, as the company has argued that the Chinese regime will not allow its sale to a foreign company. It’s the result of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA) that Biden signed in April, which prohibits apps owned by foreign adversaries from operating in the United States.

The petitioners challenged the law under the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment’s takings clause.

Canada has also placed TikTok under national security review and may ban the app.
