 TikTok Plans Full Legal Fight If U.S. Divestment Bill Becomes Law
==========

TikTok is prepared to engage in a full legal battle if a U.S. divestment bill becomes law. The bill, which aims to force TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. operations, has been introduced in Congress. TikTok has faced scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers over concerns about data privacy and national security. The company has repeatedly denied allegations that it poses a threat to U.S. national security. If the divestment bill is passed, TikTok plans to challenge it in court. The company believes that it has been unfairly targeted and that the bill violates its rights. TikTok has already filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government over a separate executive order that sought to ban the app. The case is currently pending in court. TikTok's legal battle comes as the company continues to face regulatory challenges around the world. The app has been banned in India and is also facing scrutiny in other countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom.
