TikTok Vows Legal Battle Against New US Law Threatening Ban
TikTok, a popular social media app with 170 million users in the US, faces a potential ban due to a new US law.
The legislation requires TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance within nine months or be banned from the American market.
TikTok's CEO intends to challenge the law in court, as US officials allege the app allows Beijing to collect user data and spy.
TikTok faces a ban in the United States following the signing of a bill by President Joe Biden.
Critics argue that the app is used to spread propaganda, a claim denied by China and TikTok.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew called the move a ban on the app and its users, and expressed disappointment given TikTok's reflection of American values.
Chew assured users that the app would not be leaving the US market.
The text reports that senators have passed a bill with strong bipartisan support, which includes a ban on the popular app TikTok owned by ByteDance.
The ban is part of a $95 billion foreign aid package and could lead to ByteDance being barred from operating in the US market.
The senators stated they will continue to defend constitutional rights in the courts, believing the facts support their decision.
The bill requires ByteDance to sell the app or be removed from Apple and Google's app stores in the US.
