Donald Trump following a recent order from the Trump administration to ban the app in the US.Earlier this month, the US president ordered a ban of “transactions” with the owners of TikTok and fellow Chinese app WeChat.TikTok then said they were threatening legal action against the government, and this action has now arrived.In a new statement, TikTok says that Trump’s comments about the app violates TikTok’s right to due process, and that the president offers no reasoning for his claims that the app presents a national security threat due to its ties with China.“We do not take suing the government lightly, however we feel we have no choice but to take action to protect our rights, and the rights of our community and employees,” TikTok said.
