TikTok Sues to Block US Law That Could Ban App

TikTok is really putting up a fight against a US law that could kick it out of the country unless its Chinese parent company sells it off. They’re calling it a major attack on their freedom of speech, saying it’s based on vague worries rather than real threats.

 

President Biden signed off on this law, worried about national security, but TikTok’s arguing they’re separate from the Chinese government and shouldn’t be punished. The Chinese government’s not happy either, calling it bullying.

 

The White House says it’s not a total ban, just a push to sell, but TikTok’s saying that’s easier said than done. They’re taking this battle to court, saying the law’s unfairly singling them out and that politicians still using the app undermines the security concerns.

 

TikTok’s throwing down billions to meet US standards, but some folks in Washington aren’t buying it, calling it a PR move. Meanwhile, civil liberties groups are backing TikTok, saying this law’s too drastic without solid proof of danger. But supporters of the law say it’s necessary for national security, and they’re standing firm.

 

This isn’t just about TikTok; it’s part of a bigger showdown between the US and China over tech dominance. In other news, the US is also tightening the screws on Huawei, another big Chinese tech player, further escalating tensions.
