In April, President Joe Biden signed a bill to ban the app in the US unless Chinese owner ByteDance agrees to sell it off to a third party. TikTok responded by filing a lawsuit against the US government.

Another suit was filed by a group of content creators on the platform. Both suits are asking for the court to block enforcement of the “ban or sell” legislation.

The following month, it was announced that a federal appeals court would be hearing the case in September. The case heads to court on Monday morning to be heard before a three-judge panel. Attorneys for both sides of the argument will be present. The case is anticipated to reach the US Supreme Court.

In court on Monday, TikTok will have just 15 minutes to make its case to the judges.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
