To quote Judge Easterbrook from the 7th Circuit: So what? Who cares? If TikTok and its parent have been remiss in documentation or the ability of the entity to operate on its own in America then that’s their problem. When cigarette advertising was outlawed we didn’t ask whether there was a sufficient alternative advertising pipeline for the tobacco companies to access teens. The law only “bans” TikTok insofar as TikTok refuses to comply. You might say “this is beyond TikTok’s control because China won’t permit it” but why should the USA care about that?
