TIKTOK NEVER DIES
by Hao Wu
SYNOPSIS
When Congress passes a law to ban TikTok over national security concerns, three content creators join the platform in suing the U.S. government to defend their livelihoods and First Amendment rights. After a crushing Supreme Court defeat, their last hope lies ironically with Donald Trump – the very president who first attempted to ban the app in 2020.
