Music Business Worldwide reports: “In a unanimous decision, a federal appeals court in the US has rejected TikTok’s lawsuit to challenge a law that could force it to cut its ties with its Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a complete ban in the US by mid-January 2025. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled on Friday that the government’s actions are justified on national security grounds, dealing a blow to TikTok‘s ongoing legal battle to remain operational in the US.”
