Banning TikTok is so obviously unconstitutional, in fact, that even the act's sponsors recognized that reality, and therefore have tried mightily to depict the law not as a ban at all, but merely a regulation of TikTok's ownership, the complaint says.
The outfits contend that the divest-or-be-banned choice presented by the law is no choice at all since there's no way commercially, technically, or legally that a company sale could be completed in the allotted time. The law will force TikTok to shut down on January 19, 2025, at this rate, deplatforming the 170 million Americans who use the service, they claim.
The complaint states the law does not explain why TikTok represents a threat and that members of Congress who have raised concerns have only offered hypothetical harms without any evidence.
