In the lawsuit, TikTok claims that a divestiture of its business from ByteDance is 'simply not possible,' and that the 'Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act' violates the First Amendment.
They claim that the Act is not a ban because it offers ByteDance a choice: divest TikTok's U.S. business or be shut down. But in reality, there is no choice.
The 'qualified divestiture' demanded by the Act to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States is simply not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally.
Under the law, TikTok has up to a year to separate itself from Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a ban in US app stores. However, legal challenges from TikTok could significantly delay that process.
