Who is suing? Would TikTok/ByteDance even have standing in a US court?
- wmf 2y agoByteDance/TikTok is suing the US government. Yes, foreigners who operate in the US have standing in US courts. Especially in this case where they're being targeted by an act of Congress.

I.e. you have still a standing it's just slightly harder. In difference to US companies suing in China where you have on paper also a standing but the bias against you in all kinds of subtle ways is so earth shattering that most times it's not even worth considering suing.
