TikTok files a lawsuit to prevent from being Banned

In response to a US government’s new law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the US government, TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has just filed a lawsuit against the US government. The lawsuit argues that the Biden administration’s law is unconstitutional, specifically violating First Amendment rights concerning free speech. One key point in the lawsuit is that the law doesn’t offer a real choice.
