According to foreign media reports, on the afternoon of September 18, local time, three TikTok American creators announced that they had filed a lawsuit against US President Trump’s executive order against TikTok. The three TikTok creators are Cosette, Dougmar and Alec Chambers. Cosette is 21 years old, has more than 42 million followers on TikTok, and was invited to participate in New York Fashion Week .
This is the third lawsuit against the US government to ban TikTok after TikTok and TikTok employees.
“TikTok has played a profound role in my career, allowing me to pursue my passion for creation. About 2 years ago, I joined TikTok. In just 2 years, I was fortunate to have met outstanding Creators, go all over the world to collaborate with brands that I didn’t even dare to think about before, and join the best online community.” Cosette wrote on his Instagram homepage.
“It’s not just me-for many creators, TikTok has played a vital role, allowing them to express themselves and even earn income. This journey will not end. I am happy to announce that I and Dougmar And Alec chambers will initiate a lawsuit against the president’s decision to ban TikTok and deprive us of the right to speak up to users. I am proud that I am a member of the TikTok creator community and we will not give up fighting!” Cosette added.
On September 18, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it would ban the download and update of TikTok in the U.S. app store from September 20. In response to the decision of the Ministry of Commerce, TikTok responded by saying “opposed and deeply disappointed.”
TikTok believes that the previous executive order issued by the US government without due process may deprive the American people and small businesses of an important platform for their voice and survival. To this end, TikTok will continue to insist on litigation to “protect the legitimate rights and interests of users, creators, partners and the company.”
Before the creators of TikTok sued the US government, TikTok and its employees had also filed suits in court against Trump’s executive order. On September 14, the lawsuit of TikTok employee Patrick Lane won an initial victory. The Federal District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that the executive order signed by Trump on August 6 will not affect the legality of TikTok employees, nor will it affect employees and suppliers’ salaries and benefits from TikTok. The lawsuit initiated by TikTok is also ongoing.
