TikTok argued in court on Monday that a US law which would see it banned unless it is sold by ByteDance would have a staggering impact on the free speech of its US users.
The law was prompted by concerns that US users' data is vulnerable to exploitation by China's government.
TikTok and ByteDance have repeatedly denied links to the Chinese authorities.
The companies sued to block the legislation in early May, calling it unconstitutional and an effective ban on the speech of its 170 million US users.
A panel of three judges heard its arguments at an appeals court in Washington DC.
