>>If US banned TikTok
Any attempt to ban it to the wider public would be immediately be met with a legal battle that the US government would lose as there is no legal way for them to implement such a ban, our constitution would forbid it
At most they could bar employees of the federal government (and its contractors) from using it, which given the federal government is one of the largest would have a large impact. Even that limited action however would be met with a large legal challenge and would have a good chance of failure for anything that is not a Government Computer / Phone / Network

- parliament32 6y agoAll they need to do is poke the Play Store / App Store the right way and, poof, it's gone. They don't need to legally ban it, just send a strongly worded letter.
- syshum 6y agoWell given that Google is anti-trump I am sure they would not simply do what Trump says. Now if Biden was elected I am sure it would be different
- ralph84 6y ago> our constitution would forbid it [Citation needed] On the contrary, the US constitution specifically permits regulation of international trade as an enumerated power. All the US government needs to do is put ByteDance on the same entity list they put ZTE and Huawei on and Apple and Google would have no choice but to pull TikTok from their app stores.
- blackrock 6y agoIt’s called an “Executive Order”. This will bypass the constitution every time. It’s how the president takes a dump on the constitution.
