TikTok Sues U.S. Government Over Law That Would Ban App, Alleges It’s ‘Obviously Unconstitutional’


TikTok filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the U.S.'s new law that would force ByteDance to sell the app or face a nationwide ban

As expected, TikTok filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the U.S.’s new law that would force parent company ByteDance to sell the app — or face a nationwide ban. “Congress has taken the unprecedented step of expressly singling out and banning TikTok: a vibrant online forum for protected speech and expression used by 170 million Americans to create, share, and view videos over the Internet,” the company said in the suit. “For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide.”
