Maybe someone smarter than me can explain - how both Biden and Trump can hint or announce they wont enforce the law. Signed laws upheld by the Supreme Court can be filtered out by the President? News to me.
- whimsicalism 2y agothe law doesn’t ban tiktok it just grants discretion to the president to ban tiktok
- nickthegreek 2y agoThe law makes it illegal for Oracle, Apple and Google to continue doing what they are doing. It does in fact make it illegal for some companies to operate with TikTok. The president can use this law in the future on other companies controlled by foreign adversaries to divest or face a ban.
- est 2y agoJust curious, so if the POTUS decides to fine Tiktok, how would Tiktok pay? Because banks can't accept Tiktok transactions.

- colejohnson66 2y agoThey've announced that they won't enforce the fines required by the law. But yes, selective enforcement of laws is legal — it's how prosecutorial discretion works.
