(141,865 posts)37. Trump Signs Executive Order That Will Effectively Ban Use Of TikTok In the U.S.
AUGUST 6, 2020 11:21 PM ET
Updated 10:55 a.m. ET Friday
President Trump on Thursday invoked his emergency economic powers to impose broad sanctions against TikTok, a move that steps up pressure on the Chinese-owned app to sell its U.S. assets to an American company.
In the order, which takes effect in 45 days, any transactions between TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and U.S. citizens will be outlawed for national security reasons.
In practice, experts told NPR the order likely will mean the viral video service could no longer receive advertising from American companies and the app could be removed from Apple and Google's app stores.

OP
The ban will be in effect for roughly the final 36 hours of his presidency. Why give Trump an easy win?

No. It actually wasn't. It was a major issue among younger voters in NoCal. Not the only thing.

That happened in late 2021, 3 years before the next POTUS election. Then, in March 2023, the Willow Project approval did

He signed the ban into into law, so he'll likely get the most blame (fair or not)

This is false but whatever message China has amplified should've been countered

I'm afraid so. I just came across this piece, which adds support to my supposition.

Sounds like trump is seriously considering a 90-day delay of ban. If people are stuck on TTock, trump will gain points

My bet is Trump didn't want every TT teenager pissed at him. So now he can blame it on Biden,

Maybe worrying about a dictator/oligarch rapist and a cabinet of dangerous creeps should be a higher priority.

TRUMP banned Tik-Tok in 2020 via an executive order. It was never implemented due to a court injunction

"Alienated," are we? Taught mean old establishment Daddy Biden a lesson by not voting, did we?
