The social video platform says the law is unconstitutional.
On Tuesday, TikTok fired back against the U.S. government over a law that could put an end to the social video platform. TikTok and its parent company Bytedance ’s lawsuit against the federal government claims the legislation circumvents the First Amendment. The company says the law’s requirement for TikTok to be divested is “not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally.
” TikTok has 270 days from when the act was signed by President Biden to either sell the app to an entity in the U.S. or face a shutdown. There are groups interested in buying the popular social video app, but the company has said that it’s not for sale. The House of Representatives and the Senate swiftly passed the legislation back in April as part of the National Security Act, which provided additional funding to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
