In an unsigned opinion, the Court sided with the national security concerns about TikTok rather than the First Amendment rights. There were no noted dissents.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew on Friday thanked President-elect Donald Trump for supporting the company's efforts to remain available to U.S. users.
