TikTok asserts the law targeting it is a breach of the first amendment protecting freedom of speech
TikTok took its case against a threatened US ban to a federal court on Monday where it contended that a law targeting the video platform was “unconstitutional”.
TikTok argued its case to a three-judge panel at an appeals court in Washington DC on Monday.
