Tiktok Sues The Us Government Over Impending Ban

Earlier this month, US president Donald Trump signed an executive order effectively banning TikTok in the US from September 20. A couple of days after that, TikTok said that it would sue the US government in order to fight the executive order. Well, the company has today filed a lawsuit against the federal government to challenge the ban.

All of those things are TikTok’s defences against the US calling it a security threat. However, the US government seems bent on forcing TikTok to sell off its US operations to Microsoft or Oracle. It remains to be seen how the courts rule in this case and whether TikTok manages to get a stay on the executive order at least.
