The US government’s recent legislation to ban TikTok from app stores unless its Chinese owner sells it has sparked concerns over free speech protections, leading to a likely court battle. Although the bill itself doesn’t address speech directly, civil rights advocates, TikTok, and users are considering legal action to block it. TikTok has refuted claims of sharing US user data and plans to challenge the legislation in court. Critics argue that the law may infringe on free speech by limiting expression and business promotion on the platform.
