TikTok isn’t the only one suing over President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting the wildly popular video app.
«Last week, President Trump issued an executive order that prohibits any entity and any person from transacting business with Tiktok after 45 days,» Ryan said in a TikTok video posted to a GoFundMe campaign created to finance the suit. «That means that after Sept.20, myself and 1,500 of my colleagues won’t be able to receive a paycheck, because it will be illegal for the company to pay us. This is a step too far.» The Justice Department declined to comment. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Under Trump’s order, banks, credit firms and payroll providers «would not dare to engage in any activity that might be construed as a violation,» including handling TikTok salaries, said the employee complaint, which was filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
