TIKTOK INC. et al v. TRUMP et al
Plaintiffs TikTok Inc. and ByteDance Ltd. sued Defendants President Trump, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. and the U.S. Department of Commerce to prevent the government from banning TikTok. The Complaint alleged that the prohibitions are arbitrary and capricious and therefore unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act; the ban violates the First Amendment Right to Free Speech; the Executive Order and Commerce Department prohibitions violate the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, are Ultra Vires because they are not based on a bona fide national emergency, and are unlawful because they restrict personal communications and the transmission of informational materials in violation of IEEPA; and the Executive Order violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
