Reports claim TikTok might soon sue White House over ban

TikTok might be taking legal action against the White House over the ban of its service, and it might do it soon. According to an NPR source, the company plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration as early as August 11, contending the executive order to ban "transactions" with TikTok's parent company ByteDance unconstitutional. TikTok argues it violated its due process right to respond, and that the national security rationale used for justifying the order is "pure speculation and conjecture."

According to the unnamed source, the White House didn't have investigators contact the company ahead of an enforcement action, as is the standard process with companies. And so, TikTok's team reportedly believes it's a breach of procedure. The social media company hasn't commented yet on the possibility of an impending lawsuit. Still, it has acknowledged beliefs that the order was issued "without any due process" and "no substantiation" regarding the security allegations.
