TikTok Ban: Countdown Begins, Platform Fights Back
Congress Finalizes Legislation, TikTok Prepares for Legal Battle
The clock is ticking on the potential ban of TikTok, as Congress has finalized legislation that could lead to its nationwide prohibition. The White House had previously issued a directive in February 2023, instructing federal agencies to delete the popular video platform from government devices.
In response to the legislation, TikTok has announced its intention to fight the law in court. The company argues that the ban is unconstitutional and a threat to its business interests. The ban is based on concerns about TikTok's ties to the Chinese government and potential national security risks, but TikTok has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
The US government has expressed concerns about TikTok for several years, but previous attempts to ban the app have been unsuccessful. However, the new legislation marks a significant escalation in the efforts to remove TikTok from the US market.
