Excerpt from voi.idJAKARTA – A group of TikTok creators filed a lawsuit in a US federal court on Tuesday, May 14 to block a law signed by US President Joe Biden. The law will force the divestment of a short video app used by 170 million Americans or ban it, arguing that the app has “deep impact on American life.”
Plaintiffs in the case include a Texas Marine Corps veteran who sells his farm products, a woman from Tennessee who sells cakes and talks about parenting, a college coach from North Dakota who made video sports comments, and a recent college graduate from North Carolina who advocates for rights for survivors of sexual violence.
“Although they come from different places, professions, backgrounds, and political views, they unite in the view that TikTok provides a unique and irreplaceable way for them to express themselves and form a community,” the lawsuit said.
