🚨 TikTok sues the US government over divestiture bill.

Here are its key arguments:

Unprecedented and Discriminatory Legislation: TikTok argues the Act is uniquely discriminatory as it targets a single platform, restricting the speech of millions of Americans.

Violation of First Amendment Rights: TikTok contends that the Act violates the First Amendment by imposing a content-based and speaker-based ban on the platform.

Impractical Divestiture Requirements: The Act's divestiture option is deemed infeasible by TikTok, labeling it as non-viable both technically and legally within the given timeframe.

Lack of Substantive Justification: TikTok criticizes the lack of concrete evidence or legislative findings to support the claim that TikTok presents a national security threat.

Existence of Less Restrictive Alternatives: TikTok argues that less restrictive security measures it proposed were ignored in favor of an extreme and unnecessary ban.
