The author raises some good points that, I think, are ultimately moot. Most concerns hinge on either the president using this power maliciously or Bytedance not selling Tiktok. The president already has a lot of scary power to wield if they use it maliciously, and our institutions tend to do a good job keeping this in check. What happens if Bytedance chooses not to sell? That will be an interesting world, but not one I'm sure needs to be prepared for.
