Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals sounded unconvinced Monday that the TikTok “sale or ban” law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, was unconstitutional.
TikTok and ByteDance have since condemned the practice and said that three employees involved were terminated, with an additional employee resigning.
Pincus also said that the data TikTok collects from American users is anonymized and is comparable to other Chinese companies, like major e-commerce platforms.
TikTok creators and users in the U.S. have responded overwhelmingly negatively to the proposed ban.
Trump then expressed support for TikTok following Biden’s passage of the national security package that included the provision to ban TikTok.
