A U.S. appeals court upheld the law that requires TikTok to be sold off from its Chinese parent company. TikTok plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. The company suggested it has not budged on its earlier stance that it would not separate from ByteDance. Over 170 million Americans use TikTok. (WMTW)
