Mashable, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 07:09 AM
Eight TikTok creators are suing the U. S. government in order to prevent a law that would ban the app unless its parent company divests. First reported by the Washington Post, the 33-page complaint was filed Tuesday, arguing that the law violates First Amendment rights by "[promising] to shutter a discrete medium of communication that has become part of American life", calling the law an "extraordinary restraint on speech.""In supporting the Act, lawmakers claimed that TikTok 'manipulate[s]' American minds and disseminates 'propaganda' that would 'use our country’s free marketplace to undermine our love for liberty.' But it is the Act that undermines the nation’s founding principles and free marketplace of ideas," reads the complaint. SEE ALSO: Is the White House being hypocritical about TikTok?
