TikTok says it will take legal action to try to block new U.S. legislation that could lead to it being banned. President Biden signed a bill into law Wednesday that laid the groundwork for the social media platform being banned if its Chinese parent company doesn’t sell it.
In a video posted on the platform, TikTok CEO sad the passage of the bill is “obviously a disappointing moment but it does not need to be a defining one.”
TikTok has won legal challenges in the past, including blocking a Montana law that called for a statewide ban.
In 2020, a federal judge ruled an attempt by then-President Trump to ban TikTok was unconstitutional.
