How exactly would an executive order ban an app?
Obviously it's easy to make Apple and Google remove it from their app stores but couldn't ByteDance just release a new app called TokTik or something similar? Could ByteDance just reincorporate as a different company if the ban was at the company level? Would the order ban apps with > X Number of users when owned by foreign investors?
Seems like this isn't something the president can actually do.
