WASHINGTON — TikTok will attempt to convince a federal court on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) that a law requiring the video-sharing app to divest from its Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States is unconstitutional.
WASHINGTON — 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.The fate of Americans' access to TikTok has become a prominent issue in the country's political debate, with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump opposing any ban of the wildly popular app.
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.'Given TikTok's broad reach within the United States, the capacity for China to use TikTok's features to achieve its overarching objective to undermine American interests creates a national-security threat of immense depth and scale,' the US Justice Department wrote in its filing.
