Federal appeals court won’t stop the TikTok ban from taking effect on January 19th.

The same three judges who ruled last week that a TikTok divest-or-ban law is Constitutional ruled against the company again today and declined to temporarily pause it from taking effect on January 19th.

In response, TikTok said again that it’s taking the case to the Supreme Court.

Upon considering the motions for a preliminary injunction of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, Pub. L. No. 118-50, div. H, the response from the Government and the replies from the petitioners, it is ORDERED that the motions be denied. At the request of the parties, this court expedited its consideration of the case “to ensure that there is adequate time before the Act’s prohibitions take effect to request emergency relief from the Supreme Court.”
