TikTok Sues Trump over App Ban
------------------------------

Tik Tok is suing President Trump over his executive order banning the
popular video-sharing app. Tik Tok, which is owned by the Chinese
company Byte Dance, said Trump's order was part of a "broader campaign
of anti-China rhetoric." Trump also banned the Chinese social media app
We Chat earlier this month. Tik Tok has around 92 million monthly users
in the U.S.
