ICLE Director of Law & Economics Programs Gus Hurwitz was quoted by Sociobits in a story about the lawsuit the company filed challenging a recently passed law that would force its divestiture from Chinese-based ByteDance. You can read the full piece here.

Gus Hurwitz, a senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School, who is not involved in the case, stated that ByteDance will likely first seek a court order to temporarily block the federal law from taking effect. This initial decision on whether to grant a preliminary injunction could be crucial, as without it, ByteDance would have to sell TikTok before the broader case could be decided.
