TikTok Sues U.S. Government Over Law Forcing Sale or Ban

Less than two weeks after a bill was signed forcing TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban in the US, TikTok has filed a lawsuit against the federal government. TikTok argues that the law is unconstitutional as it violates the First Amendment, removing a platform that millions of Americans use for communication and free expression. TikTok also claims that a divestiture within the given timeline is not possible due to various challenges. The lawsuit is expected to play out in the courts, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.
