TikTok Fights US Ban, Challenges Claims of Chinese Control

The social media giant argues in court that data is stored in the US and invokes First Amendment rights.

TikTok is appealing a law that requires its Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest US assets or face a ban.
The company asserts that its data storage and content moderation are managed within the United States.
TikTok claims the US government's security concerns lack concrete evidence and involve factual errors.
The legal battle is set against the backdrop of the upcoming presidential election, with arguments scheduled for September 16.
Both presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, are active on TikTok, complicating the political landscape.
