TikTok’s Vibe as It Heads to Supreme Court

I’m in Washington D.C. ahead of oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Friday morning, where TikTok will argue against a U.S. law that could ban the app in 10 days if it doesn’t sever ties with its Chinese parent ByteDance.  

Despite this threat, TikTok is pushing forward as normal—so much so that this week at the major tech conference CES in Las Vegas, TikTok executives held a panel where they talked up the app’s impact on culture and forecast trends for this year. About 150 people showed up to the event, filling up most of the couches and chairs in the venue, before they headed into a TikTok-sponsored happy hour, my colleague Wayne Ma reports.
