TikTok and parent company ByteDance are suing over a new American law that mandates the sale of the app to a U.S.-approved buyer to avoid a ban.

The lawsuit argues the law singles out TikTok, infringes on free speech, and claims it's unconstitutional.

President Biden signed the bill due to concerns over data privacy and potential Chinese government access to American user data.

ByteDance contends that divesting TikTok is not feasible and has no plans to sell the app.

The legal battle reflects broader tensions between the U.S. and China over technology and data security.

Critics suggest that a singular app ban is ineffective for privacy protection and advocate for comprehensive privacy legislation.

The lawsuit's success may hinge on First Amendment rights, but bipartisan support for the law could influence judicial deference to national security concerns.

This case poses significant questions about social media regulation, national security, and free speech in the United States.
