TikTok and ByteDance Sue US Government Over Foreign Adversary Law

ai generated text

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have filed a lawsuit against the federal government to block the "Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications" law. The law, signed by President Joe Biden, would force TikTok's divestiture or ban its use in the United States unless it is sold to an approved buyer. The companies argue that the law violates the US Constitution on several grounds, including First Amendment free speech protections.
