TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have filed a lawsuit against the federal government over a potential ban in the United States. The move comes in response to a law signed by President Biden requiring the platform to be sold to a non-Chinese company within nine to 12 months or face a ban, which TikTok argues violates users' First Amendment rights. Despite security concerns, ByteDance contends there's no evidence of a security risk. The lawsuit seeks to challenge the constitutionality of the law and halt its enforcement. Meanwhile, a poll shows a majority of Americans support the ban if TikTok remains Chinese-owned.
