DOJ Urges Supreme Court To Reject Trump Request To Delay Tiktok Ban Law
DOJ said in its filing that Trump's request could only be granted if ByteDance had established it was likely to succeed on the merits but the company had not done so.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the Supreme Court late on Jan 3 to reject President-elect Donald Trump's request to delay implementation of a law that would ban popular social media app TikTok or force its sale by Jan 19.
美國司法部(DOJ)在1月3日晚上要求最高法院駁回當選總統特朗普請求推遲實施一項法律，該法律將禁止流行的社交媒體應用TikTok或在1月19日前迫使其出售。
Last week, Trump filed a legal brief arguing he should have time after taking office on Jan 20 to pursue a "political resolution" to the issue. The court is set to hear arguments in the case on Jan 10.
上週，特朗普提交了一份法律文件，主張他在1月20日就職後需有時間追求對該問題的「政治解決」。法院定於1月10日對此案進行聽證。
The law, passed in April, requires TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance Ltd, to divest the platform's US assets or face a ban. TikTok did not immediately comment.
該法律於4月通過，要求TikTok的中國母公司字節跳動(臨時代碼)剝離該平台在美國的資產，否則將面臨禁令。TikTok沒有立即發表評論。
DOJ said in its filing that Trump's request could only be granted if ByteDance had established it was likely to succeed on the merits but the company had not done so.
司法部在其申請中表示，特朗普的請求只有在字節跳動(臨時代碼)已建立其在實質上可能成功的情況下才能獲准，但該公司並未做到這一點。
TikTok on Jan 3 urged the Supreme Court to block the law on free-speech grounds under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. It said Congress had not sought to ban Chinese-owned apps like Shein or Temu, which strongly suggests "it targeted TikTok for its social-media content, not its data".
TikTok在1月3日敦促最高法院以美國憲法第一修正案的言論自由爲依據阻止該法律。它指出國會並未尋求禁止像Shein或Temu這樣的中國擁有的應用，這強烈暗示「該法律將TikTok作爲其社交媒體內容而非數據進行鍼對」。
If the court does not block the law by Jan 19, new downloads of TikTok on Apple or Google stores would be banned but existing users could continue to access the app. Services would degrade over time and eventually stop working as companies will be barred from providing support.
如果法院在1月19日前不阻止該法律，TikTok在蘋果或谷歌商店的新下載將被禁止，但現有用戶仍可以繼續訪問該應用。服務將隨着時間的推移而退化，最終停止工作，因爲公司將被禁止提供壓力位。
Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days if he certifies ByteDance is making substantial progress toward a divestiture.
如果拜登認證字節跳動(臨時代碼)在剝離方面取得實質性進展，他可能會將截止日期延長90天。
Trump's support for TikTok is a reversal from 2020, when he tried to block the app in the US and force its sale to American companies because of its Chinese ownership.
特朗普對TikTok的支持與2020年形成了對比，當時他試圖在美國封禁該應用，並迫使其出售給美國公司，因爲它的所有權在中國。
