The battle over TikTok's ban is a clash between the First Amendment and Defense Threats in the U.S. legal landscape. TikTok's argument will focus on the need to exhaust alternative remedies before infringing on the First Amendment.

While the ban is predicted to pass, there is a possibility of appeal to the Supreme Court, emphasizing the uniqueness of the ban only targeting TikTok in the social media realm.
Kara and Scott are live at the Finance Forward Conference in Hamburg, Germany! They discuss TikTok's lawsuit against the U.S. government, as well as the latest earnings from Reddit and Disney.
