San Francisco, Aug 24: China-based TikTok on Monday filed a lawsuit against the August 6 executive order by the Donald Trump government that prohibited the company to do any business in the US. In a blog post, the ByteDance-owned Short-video making app said that it does not take suing the government lightly. “However, we feel we have no choice but to take action to protect our rights, and the rights of our community and employees. “With the Executive Order threatening to bring a ban on our US operations – eliminating the creation of 10,000 American jobs and irreparably harming the millions of Americans who turn to this app for entertainment, connection and legitimate livelihoods that are vital especially during the pandemic – we simply have no choice,” President Trump filed an executive order on August 6, prohibiting ByteDance from doing any transaction in the US for 45 days. Trump issued another executive order on August 14, giving ByteDance an option to divest its TikTok business in the US within 90 days.
