There’s one interesting caveat in the First Amendment case—the DOJ doesn’t want to show the defendant its evidence due to it being classified, arguing that saying why TikTok is a threat would be a threat in itself. If ByteDance, the Chinese-owned parent company of TikTok, doesn’t win its case, it would have to sell TikTok or effectively be banned in the US.
