The Supreme Court upheld a federal law that bans TikTok starting Sunday unless its China -based parent company, ByteDance Ltd. , sells to an approved buyer.

The unanimous decision ended a legal battle that pitted national security concerns against free speech rights.

A Biden administration official said Thursday that the outgoing administration would leave the law's implementation — and potential enforcement — to President-elect Donald Trump .

The White House directed federal agencies to remove TikTok from government-issued devices in February 2023 .

The legislation gave ByteDance nine months from the enactment date to sell TikTok , and a possible three-month extension if a sale was in progress.

The deadline's arrival the day before Trump ’s inauguration makes things tricky.
