TikTok files lawsuit against US government over ban
By Rahul | Published | No Comments
Video-sharing app TikTok sued the United States government on Tuesday in an effort to block a law signed by President Joe Biden that forces the app to sell or face a ban in the country. India Today informed of.
The “Divestment or Sanctions” law signed by Biden gives the Chinese company 270 days to find a non-Chinese buyer and divest from its parent company ByteDance or leave the US market.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues that the law violates free speech.
ByteDance said in its statement: “For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that imposes a permanent, nationwide ban on a single, designated speech platform, and empowers every American to participate in a unique online community with more than one Prevents from.” Billions of people around the world.”
ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok, leaving a lawsuit as the only option to avoid the ban, which would likely go to the US Supreme Court.
The US government claims that the reason behind the ban is a potential threat to national security. He says that the Chinese government may have access to the data.
The law also blocks app stores like Apple and Google from offering TikTok to users and bans internet hosting services from supporting TikTok unless they separate from ByteDance.
