Conservative rapper from Mississippi suing government over law that could ban TikTok
SUMMARY: Mississippi influencer Christopher Townsend, known as “Topher,” is one of eight suing the U.S. over a law threatening TikTok with a ban unless its Chinese parent company ByteDance divests. The former Air Force member and Trump supporter, with two million TikTok followers, claims the ban infringes on First Amendment rights, as the platform is vital for self-expression, advocacy, and livelihoods of creators. TikTok, with 1 billion global users, covers the legal costs, and the case may head to the Supreme Court. U.S. legislators pose a ban by Jan. 19, 2025, due to national security concerns.
