The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act as applied to TikTok. The Court found that the Act's provisions requiring TikTok to divest from Chinese ownership or cease U.S. operations do not violate the First Amendment rights of TikTok or its users. The Court applied intermediate scrutiny and concluded the Act is sufficiently tailored to address the government's important interest in preventing China from collecting vast amounts of sensitive data on U.S. users.
