TikTok's bid to overturn a law that would see it banned or sold in the US from early 2025 has been rejected.
The social media company had hoped a federal appeals court would agree with its argument that the law was unconstitutional because it represented a "staggering" impact on the free speech of its 170 million US users.
But the court upheld the law, which it said was the culmination of extensive, bipartisan action by Congress and by successive presidents.
TikTok says it will now take its fight to the US Supreme Court, the country's highest legal authority.
