Legal Battle: TikTok Takes on US Government Over App Ban in Country

TikTok has filed a lawsuit against the United States government after the approval of a law requiring TikTok to sell its business out of ByteDance or face a ban in the country. Representatives of TikTok claim that the U.S. Congress is making unjust efforts to ban TikTok and argue that this law violates the constitution, which specifies platform names and mandates nationwide bans, impacting the online community with over a billion users worldwide. The document also states that the main argument used by members of the U.S. Congress to support the ban is a concern that data on TikTok will be used inappropriately, although there is currently no clear evidence. Separating the app would make TikTok an app separate from the global audience, resulting in different content. Source: The Verge

TLDR: TikTok challenges the U.S. government in court over a law that could force the app to sell its business or be banned, citing concerns about data usage and the impact on its global user base.
