Company or pap band kron fours. Catherine heenan reports. Were in some very unusual territory. The u. S. Government has passed a law that effectively gives it the right to take away one of the most popular social media apps in the world in arguing against the new law. Tiktok says its app is an important avenue for expression. Pointing out that more than 170 Million People in the u. S. Use. It roughly half the country. It says that by taking away the government is infringing on our First Amendment rights. Meantime, is there really a significant Security Threat posed by tiktok .

In any case, the fallout from a trial could reach far beyond tiktok. One of the things that tiktok makes the case about in its filing against the government. Is that a number of other social Media Companies and apps in general would need to be banned under these rules that the government has set out effectively it saying that if youre going to treat us all fairly, which, you know, the constitution says equal protection under the law. Then its not going to just be tiktok tickets band. Its going to be a lot of stuff. And i think that is going to be an interesting part of the debate as well. If the law does not go away, he ensure thanks tiktok would just leave the country. No sale. But many would be surprised if this does not end up before the supreme court.
