TikTok has finally sued the Trump Administration for banning the app in the U.S. and not allowing transactions with ByteDance, TikTok's parent company.
In a press release, TikTok wrote that the administration ignored its ''extensive efforts'' to address the company's concerns. TikTok further stated that it had no choice but to take action against the government for its own rights, as well as the rights of the TikTok community and employees.
In the lawsuit against the Trump Administration, it is alleged that the executive order signed by the President violates due process protections, exceeds the scope of sanction rules, and most importantly, provides no proof for its claims that TikTok is a national security threat. The lawsuit further argues that the President ignored TikTok's cooperation with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., that reviews mergers like ByteDance’s acquisition of Musical.ly, later rebranded as TikTok in the country.
