Part 4/5:
In light of the court’s ruling, TikTok has issued a statement contesting the foundation of the potential ban, deeming it based on “inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information.” The platform's representatives express concern regarding the implications of these legal challenges on its vast user base and the very essence of its operations in the U.S.
