The US bill means that the Chinese company Bytedance must sell its stake within a year, otherwise Tiktok is threatened with a ban in the US.
The background to the planned “Tiktok ban” is, among other things, a concern about how the data collected by the app could be used by the Chinese government.
American politicians have also expressed dismay that so much criticism of Israel has been allowed on the platform during the war in Gaza.
Tiktok dismisses the allegations and instead claims in its lawsuit that it is the United States' responsibility to prove its claims.
