TikTok is appealing to a federal court, arguing that the U.S. Department of Justice has misrepresented its connections to China. The platform claims that its data is stored in the U.S. and moderation decisions are made locally, contesting a law that requires its parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok's U.S. assets by January 19 or face a ban. TikTok asserts this law infringes on its free speech rights, as lawmakers express concerns over potential data security risks posed by Chinese ownership.
