“We do not take lightly legal action against the government – said TikTok in his blog. – But with a presidential decree, threatening a ban on our operations in the United States … we simply have no choice. ”<\/p>\n
TikTok and ByteDance always try to reflect on the execution of Trump’s order from August 6. They claim that the administration of Trump violated their constitutional right due to the process by prohibiting the company without the opportunity for it to answer for these accusations.<\/p>\n
