- gruez 4y agoIANAL but based on the full quote: >(17) TRANSACTION.—The term “transaction” means any acquisition, importation, transfer, installation, dealing in, or use of any information and communications technology product or service, including ongoing activities such as managed services, data transmission, software updates, repairs, or the provision of data hosting services, or a class of such transactions. it's pretty obvious from the examples they're talking about B2B transactions, not consumers visiting their site.
- amatecha 4y agoThe quote you cite indicates exactly the opposite. I'll omit some of the optional elements of the sentence to create a concise sentence that makes it clear simply downloading something is considered a transaction: > The term “transaction” means any use of any information and communications technology product or service.
- gruez 4y agoI'll concede that the law can possibly be interpreted to ban Americans from using tiktok.
- sudosysgen 4y agoNo? The quote literally includes "data transmission" as a transaction.
