(Honest question, I don't understand how the law applies globally to the internet)
Given that TikTock is Chinese, what happens if they lose a court case in the US?
How can anyone force them to pay up or change their ways?
I assume the only outcome is either "pay up" or be banned in that jurisdiction? (Assuming they lose)
I can't help thinking this is like the all the three letter US agencies trying to force US law onto countries like Sweden for The Pirate Bay.
- shkkmo 4y agoTikTok has business operations in the US (including offices and thousands of employees).
- richiebful1 4y agoThere's plenty of TikTok assets in the US to seize. They have an office in Culver City, for example
- grecy 4y agoGiven this particular court case is brought by Public Schools in Seattle, WA , does having assets in a totally different state even matter? It's not like the Federal Government is suing them.
