TikTok is asking a court to block the Trump administration from forcing a sale to US investors because the White House seems to have ghosted it

for TikTok to reach a deal with Oracle and "divest any tangible or intangible assets or property, wherever located, used to enable or support ByteDance's operation of the TikTok application in the United States."

"For a year, TikTok has actively engaged with CFIUS in good faith to address its national security concerns, even as we disagree with its assessment," TikTok said in a. "In the nearly two months since the President gave his preliminary approval to our proposal to satisfy those concerns, we have offered detailed solutions to finalize that agreement – but have received no substantive feedback on our extensive data privacy and security framework.

President Donald Trump has tried to ban TikTok from the US over alleged national security concerns since the parent company ByteDance is based in China. The Commerce Department also said in September that its restrictions on TikTok could be lifted if the company reaches a deal that allays the Trump administration's national-security concern. Many companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Walmart then raced to finalize a deal with TikTok.

How can a country that is a world reference in freedom censor its president through the press and social media. It is a scary thing and it increasingly reinforces the hypothesis that the Democratic government will strengthen dictatorships around the world.

Of course they did. Because it was never about security, it was about how kids used the app to troll the hell out of his campaign manager and embarrass them in Tulsa. Narcissists don’t do embarrassment, so someone had to pay.

this is terrible news
