A coalition of TikTok creators filed a joint lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S. government in hopes of preventing the popular social network from being banned early next year.

The lawsuit, filed by eight influencers, asserted that the potential ban would not only strip them of their way of living, but rob others of a critical “part of American life.”

The 33-page complaint largely echoes the same arguments TikTok made in a lawsuit it filed itself last week, claiming that a ban of the social network would be a First Amendment violation that robs 170 million U.S. users of their freedom.

It sought to materialize on this and its self-reported numbers were impressive enough to earn a $170 million Series C funding led by SoftBank in 2021.

However, earlier this summer, an internal investigation by its own board of directors found that 95% of the app’s users were fake.

False user download claims

SoftBank explains that it was encouraged to invest due to its impressive user numbers.

The app claimed it had been downloaded by 25% of U.S. teens under 28 years old and was growing at…
