Part 2/8:

Colin Costello, a National Security adviser from Freshfields, elaborated on TikTok's announced intention to appeal to the Supreme Court regarding the initial ruling that mandates the divestiture. The ruling from the Circuit Court deemed the law constitutional under stringent scrutiny, asserting that the government has a compelling national security interest in addressing foreign data access concerns. This unanimous decision significantly narrows the scope for TikTok's appeal, making it less likely that the Supreme Court will intervene favorably.
