The Supreme Court is stepping into the TikTok debate.
The high court agreed on Wednesday to decide whether a law banning the app next month, unless it is sold, is constitutional.
The court did not place the law on hold, putting off that decision until oral arguments, which have been set for Jan. 10, which is nine days before TikTok's sell-or-be-banned deadline.
Congress passed the law in April after receiving classified briefings on the risk TikTok poses to Americans' security. The law would force TikTok to shut down in the U.S., unless it is completely divested from its parent company, China-based ByteDance.
But TikTok has insisted that the Chinese government is not covertly manipulating the American public by exerting influence over the video-sharing app's feed, as critics have insisted.
The law forbids TikTok from being carried in Google and Apple's app stores and requires web-hosting services to stop supporting the app, or face stiff financial penalties.
