TikTok, ByteDance Sue To Block U.S. Law Seeking Sale or Ban of App

Some additional reactions to the TikTok ban bill:
- The bill, passed on a bipartisan basis, "would trample the free speech rights of 170 million Americans, devastate seven million businesses, and shutter a platform that contributes $24 billion to the U.S. economy annually," a TikTok spokesperson said.
- PR Daily: “PR pros will need to think carefully about how they communicate their clients’ messages and stories, particularly if they have been using TikTok as a primary platform."
- Newsweek: With TikTok possibly going away, influencers are trying out other platforms and ways to keep making a living.
