I believe Biden says his admin won't enforce the ban, as they only have 1 day left in office after it goes into effect. Trump has signaled he doesn't support the ban, and wants tiktok under american ownership. The legislation allows the president to put a 90 day hold on the ban too. So my guess is that this isn't over yet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Do you think Apple, Oracle and Google are going to thumb their noses at the law? Trump initially championed the ban during his first term | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> The legislation allows the president to put a 90 day hold on the ban too. Only if there is an in-progress divestiture and only before the ban goes into effect. Aka, TikTok/Biden would have to announce a sale is in process and Biden would have to enact the extension before the 19th. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There seems to be a lot of misinformation around this, no surprise given the TikTok user base.. The law targets other companies that would be breaking the law if they continue providing services for a China-owned TikTok past the ban date. The statute of limitations is five years, past a Trump presidency. No, an executive order can not cancel a law. Google, Apple & co would be exposing themselves to a lot of uncertainty and risk, and for what? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
