TikTok Files Lawsuit Against US Government to Block Law Potentially Banning the App

TikTok Files Lawsuit Against US Government to Block Law Potentially Banning the App

TikTok has filed a lawsuit challenging a recently enacted US law that demands the short video-sharing app be divested by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, within 270 days or face a ban in the country. TikTok argues the law is an "extraordinary intrusion on free speech rights," based on "speculative concerns." US President Joe Biden signed the bill into law last month, citing national security concerns. US lawmakers have raised concerns that TikTok’s US users' data could fall into the hands of the Chinese government or be used for propaganda. The company claims a forced sale within 270 days is "not possible" and accuses the US of unfairly singling out TikTok. The White House defends the law as a "divestment" rather than a ban.
