“Those numbers would only increase if the shutdown extends for more than a month,” said Blake Chandlee, president of global business solutions for TikTok, in that court filing. TikTok and ByteDance plan to ask the Supreme Court to overturn a recent ruling upholding the law, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The injunction, if granted, would allow the app to continue operating until the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the appeal. He said that as of November, more than 7 million U.S. accounts use TikTok to do business. The law TikTok wants blocked for now was passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden last spring after concerns about ByteDance’s alleged connections to the Chinese government.
