This morning, a new development has emerged in the legal battle surrounding the popular app, TikTok. Eight content creators have taken legal action against the government, claiming that the bipartisan law threatening to ban the app is unconstitutional. This lawsuit adds to the legal challenges faced by the social media company itself, which filed a lawsuit after President Biden signed the bill into law last month.
One of the content creators involved in the lawsuit gained a significant following while in college by posting content related to women's rights and politics. Her activism on TikTok even led to an invitation to the White House. However, she now finds herself in opposition to the Biden administration due to the new law.
The community has shown strong support for the content creators, with thousands of people rallying behind them. The impact of their activism has been significant, leading to changes such as improved safety measures on college campuses, new initiatives for fraternities and sororities, the introduction of new Title IX legislation at the state level, and the establishment of survivor support groups.
These positive changes, which have been attributed to the influence of platforms like TikTok, highlight the power of social media in driving social change and advocacy efforts. The legal battle surrounding TikTok continues to unfold, with both content creators and the company itself fighting against the ban imposed by the new law.
