My understanding was that the real teeth behind both EOs is that they prohibited American companies from doing business with Huawei and TikTok. So Huawei would not be able to sell through American retailers, and TikTok wouldn't be available in the Apple store or the Play store, and they couldn't get an American CDN.
- duxup 5y agoI think that's just another facet of what a ban would look like. But as far as tiktok until someone gives the commerce department or someone else new powers, so far that seems out of reach. Granted, I believe there are efforts to give them that option.
- mannerheim 5y agoThose are the only powers that would be necessary to effectively ban TikTok from the US. Without app store access and without CDNs, TikTok would be dead in the US. And from my understanding of the Huawei situation, doing these by prohibiting US companies from doing business with TikTok is within the power of the President.
