The US government is being sued by TikTok and ByteDance for the recently enacted “Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications” law, which is headed toward outlawing the well-known social media platform.
Recall that TikTok and its CEO had earlier stated that, should the bill become law, they will sue the US for enacting the bill, which is a known threat to the app’s ability to operate in the US.
TikTok and ByteDance have finally filed a complaint and lawsuit against the US government, which was forwarded to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, initiating their legal battle.
