Tiktok And Bytedance Are Taking Legal Action Against The US Government
Tiktok and the Chinese parent company Bytedance are taking legal action against the US government 's announced ban on the popular video app. Both companies filed complaints with a federal court in Washington to block the download ban planned for Sunday, according to court documents filed on Friday. The ban was made for political reasons and has nothing to do with US national security, Tiktok and Bytedance said. In addition, rights guaranteed by the constitution are violated.
The US government imposed a download ban on Tiktok and the Chinese messaging and payment service Wechat on Friday. She justifies this with the fact that data from US users could be passed on to the Chinese authorities. If the decision has been made, American smartphone users will no longer be able to download Tiktok from Monday - and the app will stop working on November 12th. Tiktok has around 100 million users in the US.
The US government is immediately pulling the plug on the Chinese messaging app Wechat because of similar criticisms: It is supposed to disappear from the app stores of Apple and Google on Monday and lose most of its functions. Wechat also wants to prevent this in a court in California.
At the same time, negotiations are still going on in the background about the sale of Tiktok to a US company.
Trump insists that American investors must hold a majority in Tiktok in the US. Should Bytedance come to an agreement with the US software company Oracle on a solution that would take into account the security concerns of the US, the ban could be overridden, said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. The Chinese government had previously put a stop to a sale to Microsoft with the help of new export rules for software.
The leadership in Beijing also sharply criticized the announcement of the ban on Tiktok and Wechat. "Without any evidence, the US has repeatedly used the power of the state to hunt down the two companies for unfounded reasons and put them under pressure," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, referring to the two Chinese operators of the apps, Bytedance and Tencent. Unless Washington refrains from its "harassment" behavior, Beijing will take the necessary measures to protect the rights and interests of Chinese companies.
