TikTok Reaches for the Constitution

In April, President Biden signed a bill forcing TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to either sell the platform or face a total ban. Now, the company is fighting back with a lawsuit. "For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban," the company said, in a lawsuit naming Attorney General Merrick Garland, adding that it "bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide."
