SAN FRANCISCO - TikTok plans to file a lawsuit against the US government, the company confirmed on Saturday , arguing that President Donald Trump's moves to block the app had deprived it of due process and arguing it had been unfairly and incorrectly treated as a security threat.
"Even though we strongly disagree with the administration's concerns, for nearly a year we have sought to engage in good faith to provide a constructive solution," Josh Gartner, a TikTok spokesman, said in a statement. On Aug 6, Trump issued an executive order against TikTok, saying it would ban transactions with the app within 45 days.
TikTok, which has repeatedly denied that it shares data with Beijing, previously tried to pacify the Trump administration. But as the White House's actions escalated, TikTok became more critical of its moves.Trump's first executive order against TikTok draws its legal authority from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which allows the president to regulate economic transactions in a national emergency.
Some Trump administration advisers have also been concerned about such an outcome, but others view the economic powers as a kind of blank cheque, giving the administration expansive authority to restrict US commerce.
