The fate of a law that would likely ban social media platform TikTok in the United States goes before the Supreme Court as the justices consider whether to block it.

Facing a looming ban in the United States, TikTok's fate will be in the hands of the Supreme Court in a case being argued on Friday that pits free speech rights against national security concerns over the widely used short-video app owned by Chinese company ByteDance.

The justices are expected to rule quickly in the case, which pits national security concerns about China against the First Amendment’s protection of free speech.
