News! Foreign media: TikTok sues the US government

  [Global News Express] AFP, the US "Capitol Hill" and other media sources, TikTok confirmed on Monday local time that it is suing the Trump administration for the US executive order to ban the short video application.

  According to the source, the company stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit that “the U.S. government ignores our extensive efforts to address its concerns, and our efforts are full and sincere.” “We will not sue the government easily, but We believe that we have no choice but to take action to protect our rights, as well as the rights of our community and employees."

  The "Capitol Hill" stated that the lawsuit announced by TikTok on Monday held that the Trump administration failed to provide evidence that TikTok was a so-called "national security threat."

  The press release announcing the lawsuit also stated: "The U.S. government is very aware that the prosecutor has taken extraordinary measures to protect the privacy and security of TikTok U.S. user data, including allowing TikTok to store related data outside of China (in the U.S. and Singapore) and establish a software barrier. To help ensure that TikTok stores its U.S. user data separately from the user data of other ByteDance products."

  According to reports, TikTok will file a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California later on the 24th local time in the United States. In addition, the "Capitol Hill" has contacted the White House to comment on this case.
