Supreme Court Justices, Roberts, Jackson, Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Alito remain unpersuaded by TikTok arguments before the Court. TikTok's foreign ownership and possibility of the enormous data it collects being over many years in the hands of foreign powers is not taken lightly by the Court.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. -“Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the ultimate parent is, in fact, subject to doing intelligence work for the Chinese government?” 

Justice Elena Kagan- “How are those First Amendment rights really being implicated here?”

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.- It is “an enormously powerful, popular application” that is “gathering an arsenal of information about American citizens.”

Justice Kavanaugh- “There is a long tradition of preventing foreign ownership or control of media in the United States.”
