TikTok and ByteDance are suing in U.S. federal court on Tuesday to block legislation requiring the sale of TikTok to a non-Chinese company.

TikTok and its corporate parent, ByteDance, filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday seeking to block a U.S. law mandating that the social media platform be sold to a company without ties to the Chinese Communist Party. President Biden signed a bipartisan bill ordering ByteDance to sell TikTok to an appropriate company by Jan. 19, 2025.
