Government's Efforts to Ban TikTok
The government's attempts to ban TikTok began in 2020, when former President Trump declared it a national security emergency. He mandated that TikTok divest its U.S. operations within 45 days, citing potential data security threats posed by its Chinese ownership. Legal challenges from TikTok and its users followed, with arguments focusing on First Amendment rights and claims that the ban infringed upon their ability to communicate and share content. The ongoing political and legal battles highlighted the contentious relationship between national security concerns and individual freedoms.
