TikTok, the popular video-sharing app, is taking a stand against the U.S. government.
They have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the enforcement of a recently passed bill that would force their Chinese owner to sell the app or face a ban.
The lawsuit argues that this bill, known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, goes against the constitutional right to free speech.
TikTok believes that it is an "unprecedented violation" of the First Amendment.
They emphasize that this law would not only ban their platform but also prevent every American from participating in a unique online community that connects over 1 billion people worldwide.
The Department of Justice and the White House have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
