A group of TikTok creators, including a rancher, a skin care entrepreneur and a promoter of biblical literacy, sued the federal government over a new law that would force the app's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the company or face a ban in the United States. They said it violated their First Amendment rights.
The potential ban threatens to deprive them, and the rest of the country, of this distinctive means of expression and communication.
Davis Wright Tremaine, the law firm representing the creators, also represented the app's creators in Montana last year.
TikTok is battling for its future in the United States after President Biden signed the law in April. Many legal experts expect the wrangling over the law to reach the Supreme Court.
