Although the Trump administration has painted a ban on TikTok as a simple action, experts told Business Insider it's not so easy. These other possible actions Trump could take, however, raise concerns about violations of First Amendment rights, as well as how effective they would be in actually restricting TikTok in the US.The continuing geopolitical dogfight over TikTok has seen President Donald Trump saying he may "ban" TikTok. But the reality, multiple experts say, is that any ban would take extraordinary legal steps — and still not actually keep Americans from using the app.
Because TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, questions have circulated around how much access and influence the Chinese government is afforded over the app's user data and content moderation. The Trump administration escalated those concerns in early July when officials, including the president, expressed a desire to ban TikTok in the US, citing national-security risks.
And he can't get a 'cut' from the sale since he really isn't Al Capone selling bootleg whiskey. But he acts like it! lol.

Trump: US has 'all the cards' on potential TikTok sale - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. No he doesn’t, because once in the hands of Microsoft, China would no longer (assuming it does, at all) have access to user data. Not that he has the ability to “ban” it anyway — it would still live on phones even if removed from US App Store. So, who is Luca Brazzi in the administration? It's called 'tax revenue.'

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Sounds like a dangerous precedent that could later go on to affect American companies. I agree with China, it's a shakedown. Trump threatened to kill TikTok, now that they will be spared he wants his protection money He needs to worry about the economy and the unemployed. That should be his number one concern during this pandemic....... not TikTok....... unreal.

Trump plays into China's hands over Microsoft-TikTok cut - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Is this the GOP way now? Shaking down businesses, forcing a sale, and then taking a cut? Why am I not hearing anything from the free market crowd?
