TikTok has previously stated that it would legally challenge the “unconstitutional” law.

The US law, signed by President Joe Biden, aims to address concerns over Beijing’s control of private companies and data.

The Chinese government has dismissed these concerns and warned that a TikTok ban would have consequences for the US.

“We are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts,” TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said in a video posted on the platform this week.

However, TikTok is not facing an immediate ban, as ByteDance has been given nine months to sell the business, with an additional three-month grace period before a potential ban could be enforced.

The deadline for the sale is likely to be in 2025, after the 2024 presidential election.
