TikTok and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, are challenging a new US national security law that could ban the popular app in the US, citing concerns over singling out their US interests and 170 million users. They argue that the US government has not engaged in serious settlement talks since 2022, and TikTok claims the law violates the First Amendment by not considering alternative options before proceeding with the ban. The Justice Department won't pursue claims of TikTok misleading US consumers on data security but plans to focus on children's privacy violations in a forthcoming lawsuit.
