Tonight on The UnWoke Show we're diving into a hot topic that's been making headlines: the Supreme Court's decision to hear arguments over the potential TikTok ban in the United States.

TikTok, the popular social media platform, is facing a potential ban due to national security concerns related to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. A federal appeals court recently upheld a law requiring TikTok to either cut ties with ByteDance or face a ban by mid-January.

The case has now reached the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments on January 10th. The central question is whether the law violates the First Amendment by restricting free speech. TikTok and ByteDance argue that the law unfairly targets them and infringes on the rights of their users.

What does this mean for TikTok's 170 million users in the U.S.? We'll explore the potential impact on content creators, advertisers, and everyday users who rely on the platform for entertainment and income. We'll also discuss the broader implications for social media regulation and national security.
