TikTok and ByteDance Challenge Unconstitutional U.S. Law Mandating Sale or Ban
Jun 20, 2024, 06:05 PM
TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have filed a legal challenge against a new U.S. law that mandates the sale or ban of the app. The companies argue that the law is unconstitutional and represents political demagoguery. TikTok's massive legal brief, filed in federal appeals court on June 20, criticizes the Biden administration for adopting a stance they claim is unmoored from reality. The brief also reveals details of confidential discussions with federal officials over the past year. The companies contend that Congress provided no justification for the ban and that less restrictive alternatives could address national security concerns.
