TikTok filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging the constitutionality of a new law that requires a sale or ban of the popular social media app, setting up a court showdown over national security. The suit seeks a court order preventing the U.S. from enforcing the bipartisan law that bans Chinese-backed TikTok in the U.S. unless its parent company, Byte Dance, divests itself from the platform.
