TikTok and ByteDance are urging a US court to strike down a law that could result in a ban of TikTok in the US unless ByteDance divests its US assets by January 19. The companies argue that the law unfairly targets them and violates free speech rights. The court will hold oral arguments in September, and the outcome will impact how the US government regulates foreign-owned apps. ByteDance previously engaged in negotiations with the US government that ended in 2022, and TikTok claims a divestiture is not technologically, commercially, or legally possible.
