Legal Battle: TikTok Fights Against US Law Threatening App Ban
TikTok Challenges US Ban in Court
TikTok has taken legal action to prevent a US law that would force the sale of the popular video app by its Chinese parent company, effectively banning it in the country.
The social media platform has labeled the law as a severe infringement on free speech rights, affecting its 170 million American users. It argues that the concerns raised by the US are speculative and lack substantial evidence.
Despite ongoing debates in Washington over the potential risks associated with TikTok’s Chinese ownership, the company asserts its independence from the government. ByteDance, its parent company, has reiterated its stance against selling the business.
International Backlash
The Chinese government has condemned the US law as an act of bullying

Disbelief after the death of a man (90 years old) pushed off his bicycle: “Why?”
Residents reacted with shock on Tuesday to news of the death of the 90-year-old man who was pushed off his bicycle in Veldhoven on Friday. People who heard what happened say it’s a shame. They have nothing good to say about the 42-year-old arrested for allegedly pushing the victim off his bicycle on the Heemweg.
The victim fell from his bicycle near The Post’s Lunchroom. Employees caught him after he fell. “He was sitting on a bench in front of the restaurant and was available,” explains Demi Visser. “A colleague brought another glass of water and saw that he was very shocked.”
“The police came in, together with her nephew, to ask what had happened. Unfortunately we didn’t see it happen,” says Demi. “I think it’s really terrible that he got pushed. You don’t push an old man off his bike. I don’t know why you would do that.”
“That man also has the right to ride a bicycle here.”
This disbelief affects more people in Veldhoven. Especially because the victim is a very old man. “If necessary, give priority to the man out of respect,” says a local resident. “This really shouldn’t be possible. That man has the right to ride a bicycle here too.”
“You wouldn’t wish on anyone to have to die like this. It’s also very sad for the surviving relatives,” says another. “I still have the courage to ride a bicycle, but these days you have to be careful. Of course, at ninety you’re not so mobile anymore. It’s so
