    TikTok is suing the US government — can it beat the ban?

    On today’s episode of Decoder, Verge editors Alex Heath and Sarah Jeong join me to discuss the lawsuit TikTok filed last week against the US government in response to the divest-or-ban bill.

    One reason I wanted to have both Alex and Sarah on here is that there’s a lot of back and forth between the facts and the law; some of TikTok’s arguments are contradicted by the simple facts of what the company has already promised to do around the world, and some of the legal claims are complex and sit in tension with a long history of attempts to regulate speech and the internet.

    TikTok averted a ban once before under the Trump administration. But this time around, the bill is on far more solid footing, and TikTok is arguing that divesting its US business is not possible “commercially, technologically, or legally.” So we walked through each of those arguments one by one.

    Here’s Sergey Brin holding court with reporters at Google I/O.

    Sergey posted up outside the area where Google was giving demos of Project Astra multi-modal chats. He said he thinks Sundar is doing a good job making hard decisions as CEO, said he mostly uses AI for coding tasks, and politely declined to answer a question from Bloomberg’s Shirin Ghaffary about Larry Page accusing Elon Musk of being a “speciesist.”
