The Justice Department and TIkTok have asked a federal court to fast-track TikTok's lawsuit challenging a law that requires parent company ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets.
The Justice Department and TikTok on Friday asked a U.S. appeals court to fast-track the social media platform's lawsuit challenging a potential ban. Under a law signed by President Biden, TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance must divest TikTok's U.S. assets by Jan. 19, else the short-form video website will be banned. TikTok, ByteDance and a group of TikTok content creators have filed a lawsuit to stop the forced sale, arguing divestiture is not possible by the deadline.
In 2020, then-President Trump was blocked by the courts in his bid to ban TikTok and Chinese-owned WeChat, a unit of Tencent, in the United States. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate, has reversed course and said on Monday that Biden was "pushing" for a ban on TikTok and would be the one responsible if a ban were imposed, urging voters to take notice.
