BUtterfield 8 41,818 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 TikTok is planning to sue the Trump administration, challenging the president's executive order banning the service from the United States. The video-sharing app hugely popular with the smartphone generation TikTok will file the federal lawsuit as soon as Tuesday, according to a person who was directly involved in the forthcoming suit but was not authorized to speak for the company. It will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, where TikTok's American operations are based, the person said. NPR has learned that the lawsuit will argue that the president's far-reaching action is unconstitutional because it failed to give the company a chance to respond. It also alleges that the administration's national security justification for the order is baseless, according to the source. "It's based on pure speculation and conjecture," the source said. "The order has no findings of fact, just reiterates rhetoric about China that has been kicking around." The White House declined to comment on the expected litigation, but defended the president's executive order. "The Administration is committed to protecting the American people from all cyber related threats to critical infrastructure, public health and safety, and our economic and national security," according to White House spokesman Judd Deere. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/08/900394707/tiktok-to-sue-trump-administration-over-ban-as-soon-as-tuesday?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reality of 2020. This entire year could fit into a primetime mini-series at the rate we’re going. Let the people remember that while a global pandemic was ravaging through countries left and right, Trump’s priorities lied within crying over Tik Tok allowing someone to be mean to him.
