    So in violation of a federal law and a SCOTUS ruling Tiktok will be back in US markets because the guy that originally proposed the ban violated the Logan act?

      Technically, the law only requires TikTok to be removed from app stores, and it is. Yesterday the company voluntarily blocked US traffic, then today they unblocked it, both seemingly just a publicity stunt to try to buy Trump’s favor.

      Trump wins by uneducated people believing he saved TikTok for them, ByteDance (Tiktok’s parent company) wins by getting on his good side and increasing the odds of a future reversal of the law.

      Enjoy the circus.

        I was just highlighting the hypocrisy of the party of law and order. Regardless of how serious an institution they are, their interpretations at any given moment in time are the law.

    So TikTok isn’t a national security risk no more? Hurray for that! We can watch dancing dimwits safely again.

    Well I already deleted the app and it’s not available on the app store. So long fake Chinese app. I’m going to a real Chinese app instead.

    I downloaded it before it was removed from the app store but have no intention of using it.
