It's also unclear if it will make it illegal for TikTok to pay its roughly 1,500 workers in the U.S., which is why some of them came to Godwin for help, he said. The order would prohibit"any transaction by any person" with TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance.
TikTok didn't return multiple requests for comment this week. It said in a statement Friday that it was"shocked by the recent Executive Order, which was issued without any due process." Microsoft is in talks to buy parts of TikTok, in a potential sale that's being forced under Trump's threat of a ban.
Unlike other Chinese tech companies targeted by Trump, such as telecom giant Huawei, TikTok's widespread popularity among Americans adds a layer of complexity to its legal and political challenges. The looming ban has annoyed TikTok users, some of them Trump supporters like Pam Graef of Metairie, Louisiana.
TikTok sucks all personal data to CCP servers. However, some American still naively believed this is Trump's fantasy. Trump EO is to protect Americans' privacy and national security. The coming lawsuits are simply CCP backed unrestricted warfare. Naive Americans, wake up!
GO 4 IT ! ! BTW Don't get the idea that I was talking about BEATING COVID-19, SO Like what else is in THIS Picture ? ! ?
I am 90% convinced that Donald Trump is not Hitler. Because I think Hitler would probably be too old by now.
The reasons why Chinese eat bats and everything..
He’s the President. He could issue an executive order citing National Security; their lawsuit is ‘frivolous and W/out merit.’ That’s a legal term and they will be defeated. It is what it is. A joke.
