On December 16, local time, TikTok announced that it had submitted an emergency petition to the USA Supreme Court, seeking to block the 'sell or be banned' bill. Documents show that TikTok and ByteDance are calling on the USA Supreme Court to make a ruling on their request to postpone the implementation of the 'sell or be banned' bill before January 6 of next year. TikTok stated in a statement: 'The USA Supreme Court has a good record in upholding the free speech rights of Americans. Today, we ask the USA Supreme Court to act in accordance with its traditional practice in free speech cases: to subject speech bans to the strictest scrutiny and determine that they violate the First Amendment.' TikTok claims that the 'sell or be banned' bill will lead to over 0.17 billion Americans facing 'unprecedented large-scale censorship' by January 19 of next year. It is estimated that if the ban is not halted, small businesses on TikTok 'will lose over $1 billion in revenue within just one month, while creators will lose nearly $0.3 billion in income.'
