A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the federal ban on TikTok, which is poised to take effect in January, though the case is likely to go to the Supreme Court and President-elect Donald Trump could attempt to undermine a ban. (UPDATE: TikTok is asking for the ban to be paused until the Supreme Court can react.)

WASHINGTON -- The law that could ban TikTok is coming before the Supreme Court on Friday, with the justices largely holding the app's fate in their hands. The popular social media platform says the law violates the First Amendment and should be struck down.

TikTok has until Jan. 19 to divest from its China-based parent company, one day before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
