As tensions soar between Chinese and US, world’s two biggest economies, video app TikTok on Monday said it has filed a lawsuit to challenge the crackdown on the popular Chinese-owned platform.
Accusing it of being a national threat, the Donald Trump-led American government had said it will ban Tik Tok.
On August 6, President Trump signed an executive order giving Americans 45 days to stop doing business with TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance — effectively setting a deadline for a potential pressured sale of the app to a US company.
In a blog post, the company stated that: “Today we are filing a complaint in federal court challenging the Administration’s efforts to ban TikTok in the US” .
