TikTok Challenges DOJ's Secret Evidence in Divestiture Case

ByteDance argues that withholding evidence undermines their ability to contest the U.S. government's national security claims.

  • TikTok and ByteDance request the court to reject the Justice Department's secret filings in the divestiture lawsuit.
  • The DOJ seeks to file a significant portion of its brief and evidence in secret, citing national security concerns.
  • TikTok asserts that without access to the evidence, they cannot adequately refute the government's claims.
  • The Biden administration supports the DOJ's stance, emphasizing potential risks to American data security.
  • TikTok denies allegations of sharing U.S. user data with China or manipulating content.
