TikTok, ByteDance sue US government to block law that could ban app from US
SUMMARY: TikTok is suing the U.S. government to block a law that would force the app to be divested from its Chinese parent company or face a ban in the country. The law gives ByteDance 270 days to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a ban from American networks and app stores. TikTok argues that a “qualified divestiture” is not possible and would lead to the shutdown of the app in the U.S., affecting millions of daily users. The lawsuit claims that the law violates the First Amendment, as it forces the app to be separated from its parent company.
