This comes about two weeks after president Joe Biden signed a bill To give TikTok 270 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or meet a ban in the country.
The video sharing platform claims that this was constitutional.
“For the first time in history, Congress has adopted a law that exposes a single, named speech platform to a Permanent, nationwide ban And prevents every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people all over the world, ”said the presentation of Tiktok and Bytdance.
The petition claimed that the move violates the first amendmentwho accuses “Congress has made a law that limits huge amounts of protected speech.”
It also said that the divestment required for TikTok to continue to run in the United States is “simply not possible” – and not on the timeline required.
The White House can extend the 270-day deadline once, with 90 days.
During this period, the app would continue to work for its approximately 170 million American users.
