Bad move by Biden. Presidents don’t get to choose which laws they enforce.
Agreed. And it’s pathetic how both parties are backpedaling away from this ban they both supported. Biden was right to warn about an oligarchy, but most Democrats are just as guilty of enabling it as the GOP.
Fascinating observation about our society that issues surrounding the banning of a social media app stirs more concern than the issue of undoing the death sentences of convicted murderers. And actually, the law is not banning the app – but requiring the CCP (ooops, I mean the owners of TikTok) to sell the app to a non CCP controlled entity.
Not even an official “move” (just a source).
Office is in transition. Not a significant enforcement action can be made at in one day without affecting Trump’s agenda for the project. Trump says he’s got this and he seems to be discussing a solution with all the folks involved. Let’s see.
By the way, all Presidents prioritize (or “choose” if you wish) which laws they enforce and determine how they’re to be implemented.
The Chinese are playing the long game here. Trump was correct to perceive the threat and ban the thing or force divestiture … or, failing that, force the Chinese to allow American social media companies to operate in China in the same way. It’s how the Chinese plan to change hearts and minds and collect a metric ton of data on American citizens, which they’ve been caught lying about repeatedly.
Instead, he’s OK with it continuing because he thinks he will profit from it in some way. So he’s selling us all out, for the first of many times.
