TikTok plans to file a lawsuit as early as August 11, accusing the Trump administration of being unconstitutional when it banned the social network from operating in the US.

The lawsuit will be filed with the Southern District Court of California, where TikTok is located in the US, the National Public Radio (NPR) on 8/8, citing an anonymous source who understands the matter.

The lawsuit would argue that President Donald Trump's actions were unconstitutional because it did not give the company a chance to react, and stated that the US government's use of national security to justify the ban on TikTok is unconstitutional.

A TikTok spokesman declined to comment on NPR's information.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal citing sources knowledgeable about the news TikTok and Twitter have held early negotiations on the possibility of a combination between the two social networks.

Twitter explains that their size is much smaller than that of Microsoft, so they probably won't face the level of antitrust scrutiny like Microsoft or other potential contractors.

Trump on August 6 signed a decree banning all individuals and organizations under the jurisdiction of the United States from trading with ByteDance, owner of TikTok, and Tencent, owner of WeChat, after 45 days to "protect security.

TikTok currently has about a billion users around the world.

TikTok and ByteDance denied any contact with the Chinese authorities.
