TikTok plans to file a court challenge if the Senate passes, and President Joe Biden signs, a House-passed foreign aid package containing language that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban, a top company executive told employees in an internal memo obtained by CNN.
TikTok will file a court challenge if Congress passes legislation paving the way to a nationwide ban of the app, a top executive told employees in an internal memo obtained by CNN. On Saturday the House of Representatives passed a foreign aid package containing language that could lead to a ban of TikTok — and the bill could pass the Senate within days, Michael Beckerman, TikTok’s head of public policy for the Americas, warned employees in the memo he sent the same day.
A TikTok spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The legislation calls for forcing TikTok’s Chinese parent, ByteDance, to sell the app within 270 days — otherwise it would be illegal for US app stores to offer TikTok for downloads. The legislation also would allow Biden to extend that deadline by another 90 days if he determines there’s been progress toward a sale.
