The lawsuit was filed Monday in the US District Court for the Central District of California.
Tic Tock said the August 6 executive order issued by the president didn't follow due process or provide evidence that tic toc was an actual threat.
The order also failed to justify quote its punitive actions the company said in a blog post.
