Gus Hurwitz on the TikTok Law at the Supreme Court
ICLE Director of Law & Economics Programs Gus Hurwitz was quoted by the Washington Times in a story about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to hear TikTok’s appeal of its challenge to a law that would force divestment by the company’s Chinese ownership. You can read the full piece here.
Gus Hurwitz, academic director of the Center for Technology, Innovation & Competition at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, said a Supreme Court hearing rather than an injunction made sense.
“The justices don’t want to delay implementation of the law if they are likely to affirm the D.C. Circuit’s decision to uphold it, but not delaying the law would seriously harm TikTok. Hearing the full case in January lets the justices engage with the facts in more detail and gives them surer footing to decide whether or not to enjoin the law until they reach a final decision,” he said.
