TikTok plans challenge if White House signs sale-or-ban bill, Information says

After the House of Representatives on Saturday passed a revised bill requiring TikTok to cut ties to its Chinese parent ByteDance or face a ban, Michael Beckerman, TikTok’s head of public policy for the Americas, told staff in a note that TikTok plans to file a legal challenge if the White House signs a bill forcing a sale or ban of the app, according to The Information’s Kaya Yurieff. The internal memo quotes Beckerman as having said: “This is the beginning, not the end of this long process.” Publicly traded companies in the social media space include Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), Pinterest (PINS) and Snap (SNAP).
