Description

All eyes are on the Senate this week, where lawmakers are taking up a
bill that forces TikTok to find a new owner. Now, Congress can be an
unpredictable place. But things have never looked worse for the popular
app. So, what happens next? It seems clear that TikTok would take the
U.S. government to court, likely arguing that forcing a sale, and
potentially imposing a ban, violates the constitutional rights of
TikTok’s investors and users. Right now, TikTok is locked in a lawsuit
with the state of Montana over a ban passed last year. On today's
Politico Tech, Steven Overly talks with Montana Attorney General Austin
Knudsen, the man at the center of the state's proposed ban, about what
he expects from TikTok’s coming legal fight.
