A major setback for TikTok in the U.S. A federal appeals court has upheld a law that could ban the app unless it cuts ties with its Chinese owner, ByteDance, by January.

TikTok denies the claims and plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. If upheld, the law could lead to app store bans and restricted access in the U.S., reigniting debates over data privacy and foreign influence.
