AMIT DHAKAR

A US appeals court on Monday said it will start the hearings pm Sept. 16 on legal challenges to a new law forcing China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok's US assets by Jan. 19 or face a ban. US lawmakers worry that China could access data on Americans or spy on them with the app.


On May 14, a group of TikTok creators filed suit to block the law that could ban the app used by 170 million Americans. They believe banning the app will have 'a profound effect on American life'.
