In reply to the discussion: TikTok is down. Banned in the USA with a message about Trump saving it [View all]

(24,749 posts)100. Not sure what it means to say the federal government won't enforce a ban signed into law.
Biden could have signed a statement to the effect that TikTok complied with the requirements of the law so should not be banned under the terms of the law. He didn’t do that. Obviously the companies like Apple and Google would have faced steep liability for allowing continued access via its App Store.

You made a large grammatical error while railing against stupidity. Ironic.

Broadbrush bollocks. Take that posture as a fundamental stance of our Party and we will never win another election.

But I though it was Trump's base that wanted Tik Tok banned...being too woke etc.

My SIL uses one and she isn't very computer savvy. She works from home: payroll.

yes, if a person can figure out how to post on DU they can easily figure out how to use a VPN

VPN works on the TikTok web site, not the mobile app. Mobile may be too much effort for the average user.

The ban was signed by Biden and Trump campaigned against the ban as a candidate.

He also signed the ban into law. It is reasonable to give him credit for the ban.
