"TikTok may sue White House over ban as soon as August 11th"

" \n TikTok might quickly make good on its promise to fight the White House\u2019s threatened ban on its service. An NPR source claims TikTok will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration as soon as August 11th. The suit will contend that the executive order is unconstitutional as it violated TikTok\u2019s due process right to respond, and that the national security rationale behind the order is based on \u201cpure speculation and conjecture,\u201d according to the source. \n \n\n \n The reported insider also maintained that the White House didn\u2019t have investigators contact the company ahead of an enforcement action, as they normally do with companies. TikTok\u2019s legal time considered that a breach of procedure, according to claimed insiders on TikTok\u2019s legal team. \n \n\n \n The company declined to comment on the possibility of an impending lawsuit, but did acknowledge beliefs the order was issued \u201cwithout any due process\u201d and \u201cno substantiation\u201d of the security allegations. \n \n\n \n TikTok might not have as much trouble contesting the ban as you might think. While Trump used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to help justify the order on security grounds, that law doesn\u2019t allow bans based on personal communication and media sharing \u2014 both central to TikTok. \n \n\n \n The challenge, as you might imagine, is to have the right people agree. Congress isn\u2019t likely to help as it\u2019s pushing for a ban on TikTok for government devices and has generally echoed security fears. TikTok may have to rely on the courts to avoid a ban, at least if a Microsoft deal doesn\u2019t go through. \n "
