Per Jasmine Enberg: "Just this week, #TikTok reported over $100 million in US sales on Black Friday alone - indicating that users are still engaging heavily on the platform: https://lnkd.in/dJSHQ5qe So what happens next? Expect TikTok to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. If that doesn’t work out in TikTok’s favor and the ban is enforced, it would cause major upheaval in the social landscape, benefitting Meta, YouTube and Snap, while hurting content creators and small businesses that rely on the app to make a living." For HER Heard, as we aggregate content and information from across #socialmedia sites, for curated vetted content on #womenshealth, this is a space that is very relevant to us and how we design our #product and #GTM. At minimum, we need to ensure we do not have dead links. Bigger picture, we have to think of which health influencers will get disrupted. Per Bloomberg, "Menopuase Tiktok" is a $15 billion market and growing. https://lnkd.in/eHKrxmg5 Personally, I've gotten far more information on #menopause #perimenopause #fibroids #endometriosis from TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn than from my primary care or from my medical school education. Ideally, we fix that systems issue, but, given the pace of change of institutions and multitude of crises facing healthcare, the system fixes for midlife women will not happen fast. Until then, we have to make do with alternate sources of information. These communities and platforms are essential for women to learn, connect, communicate. The same is true for many patient groups as well. Below is a more detailed #legal analysis of the decision by Leah Ward Sears

Breaking Legal Update: Decision from the D.C. Circuit Could Ban TikTok in the U.S. Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a significant ruling in the case of TikTok Inc. v. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The court upheld a federal mandate requiring ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, to divest its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025. Failure to comply with this mandate could result in a nationwide ban on the app. This landmark decision highlights the evolving relationship between American law, national security, technology, and data privacy. The court addressed concerns about TikTok’s access to user data and the potential influence of the Chinese government while rejecting TikTok’s claims of violations of the First Amendment and instances of unfair targeting. As an appellate lawyer focused on pivotal cases that shape U.S. public policy, I find the legal implications of this decision particularly noteworthy for foreign investments, technology companies, and the broader regulatory environment. This case may signal increased scrutiny of platforms that operate internationally, particularly in matters concerning national security and user privacy. TikTok has announced plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, making this a case to watch in 2025. #AppellateLaw #LegalUpdates #DataPrivacy #NationalSecurity #TikTokCase
