Sunday night said that the Trump administration “likely exceeded the lawful bounds” of the powers afforded to the president under the the International Emergency Economic Powers Act., the short-form video app owned by Chinese internet giant ByteDance, in the United States.
In addition, Trump’s order and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’s ensuing prohibitions “will have the intended effect of stopping U.S. users from communicating on TikTok,” Nichols wrote. Nichols noted that the government “has provided ample evidence that China presents a significant national security threat, although the specific evidence of the threat posed by Plaintiffs, as well as whether the prohibitions are the only effective way to address that threat, remains less substantial.”
