The company argues the law is unconstitutional and denies allegations of user spying. ## Content TikTok, the popular social media app, has taken legal action against the US government in response to a newly passed law that would require the app to be divested from its parent company, ByteDance, or face a ban in the country. The lawsuit, filed by TikTok and ByteDance, argues that the law is unconstitutional and infringes upon the rights of the company. It claims that Congress has ignored less restrictive methods to address security concerns and that there is no evidence of TikTok spying on users. The app is seeking to challenge the ban and ensure its continued operation in the US market. This legal battle marks a significant development in the ongoing tensions between TikTok and the US government, with the outcome expected to have far-reaching implications for the future of the app. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#social-media](https://daily.dev/tags/social-media), [#tiktok](https://daily.dev/tags/tiktok) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/tiktok-takes-legal-action-against-the-us-government-over-ban-threat-azq3aturr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"TikTok Takes Legal Action Against the US Government Over Ban Threat","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/tiktok-takes-legal-action-against-the-us-government-over-ban-threat-azq3aturr","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/tiktok-takes-legal-action-against-the-us-government-over-ban-threat-azq3aturr"},"datePublished":"2024-05-07T16:40:50.628Z","dateModified":"2024-05-07T20:21:07.255Z","description":"TikTok has filed a lawsuit against the US government in response to a law requiring its divestment or face a ban.
