Washington, United States – TikTok will attempt to convince a federal court on Monday that a law requiring the video-sharing app to divest from its Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States is unconstitutional.
ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, has stated it has no plans to sell TikTok, leaving the app’s legal appeal — focused on US guarantees for free speech — as its only option for survival. “There is no question: the Act will force a shutdown of TikTok by January 19, 2025,” TikTok’s appeal stated, “silencing those who use the platform to communicate in ways that cannot be replicated elsewhere.”
The US government counters that the law addresses national security concerns, not speech, and that ByteDance cannot claim First Amendment rights in the United States. That effort was halted when a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s move, citing in part the potential infringement of free speech rights.“For all of those that want to save TikTok in America, vote for Trump,” he said in a video post last week.
