WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday to block all U.S. transactions with TikTok’s Chinese parent corporation, Bytedance, the latest move by the administration to force the video-sharing app to sever its ties to Beijing.
The administration is investigating whether ByteDance is harvesting the data of millions of American users. TheThe new order bans TikTok under the National Emergencies Act and is set to take effect in 45 days, just after the Sept. 15 deadline set for TikTok which features short videos and is used by 100 million American consumers and hundreds of millions globally, has rejected claims that it sends U.S. user data to the Chinese government.
The president first threatened to"ban" the company in the United States late last week but softened his stance after Microsoft said it will"move quickly to pursue discussions with TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance," with a final decision expected no later than Sept. 15.
We should appropriate the app. like the Chinese do and create a US version of Tik Toc that is safe for US citizens to use. Or at least as safe as anything on the internet can be.
thats crazy, not good for business
TRUMP SPENDS MORE TIME WITH TIK TOK AND BULLSHITTY TALK TALK TALK SENSELESSLY!!!
Bravo!
Like anyone is going to listen or gives a fat rat's ass what YoSEMITE says !!
Love to see realDonaldTrump stock market holdings.
President realDonaldTrump has to do much more, Tik tok is not going to have any impact on China though it’s a welcome step. China needs to be quarantined for the peace in the world.
Trump is going to regret messing with China when he is no longer president in January. China will make sure that no member of the Trump family do business in China.
China's ban on Facebook is called autocracy. U.S. ban on TikTok is called national security.
I'm fairly certain he has no authority over privately held companies.
He is the one killing freedom of speech feels liked we are moving towards commie country
He’s really mad at those tiktokers who sabotaged his Nazi rally! Classic Trumpian behavior. abuseofpowerallday fucktrump
Wish he would’ve acted this swiftly about Covid...
