US, TikTok seek fast-track schedule, ruling by Dec. 6 on potential ban

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department and TikTok on Friday asked a U.S. appeals court to set a fast-track schedule to consider the legal challenges to a new law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets by Jan. 19 or face a ban.

On Tuesday, a group of TikTok creators filed suit to block the law that could ban the app used by 170 million Americans, saying it has had "a profound effect on American life." "In light of the large number of users of the TikTok platform, the public at large has a significant interest in the prompt disposition of this matter," the U.S. Justice Department and TikTok petitioners said.The law, signed by President Joe Biden on April 24, gives ByteDance until Jan. 19 to sell TikTok or face a ban. The White House says it wants to see Chinese-based ownership ended on national security grounds, but not a ban on TikTok.

Earlier this week the Justice Department said the TikTok law "addresses critical national security concerns in a manner that is consistent with the First Amendment and other constitutional limitations."
