ByteDance has up to a year to sell TikTok and avoid a ban.

    With absolutely zero tangible evidence, which is why it was a complete non-starter for four years until Biden lost control of the narrative.

      Well, no. The courts struck down Trump’s Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.

        Because executive order was the only way to get it done - other methods would have required evidence that doesn’t exist. You’re only backing my argument lmao.

          That’s the opposite of what the court said.
