TikTok Fights Back Against US Government Ban

President Biden, the US House, and Senate have approved a bill to ban TikTok, but the popular app is not giving up just yet. In a recent move, TikTok’s CEO vowed to push back against the ban. Now, ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, has taken legal action by filing a lawsuit against the US government in response to the ban.

Here are some key points about TikTok’s lawsuit against the US government:

– TikTok is suing the US government over a new law that aims to separate the app from its parent company ByteDance or force it out of the country.
– The app argues that Congress has overstepped by directly targeting TikTok and deems the law as unconstitutional.
– The complaint states that selling off from ByteDance is not feasible and could lead to a forced shutdown by January 19, 2025.
– President Biden recently signed a law giving ByteDance nine months to split from TikTok or face shutdown due to national security concerns. However, TikTok claims that there is no evidence of China misusing the app.
– TikTok warns that a US ban would be difficult to implement due to China’s strict regulations on exporting algorithms and source codes.
– The app is seeking a ruling declaring the law unconstitutional and requesting an order to prevent its enforcement by the attorney general.
