The law quite clearly states bytedance aka tiktok so yea tiktok is 100% banned and the penalty is massive fines that would essentially bankrupt them.


The law quite clearly says it is the president's call. It is a new presidential power.

It is the President’s call for any _additional_ applications. It is not his call for TikTok or any other ByteDance applications.


if the law explicitly says bytedance and there is no way for bytedance to avoid it then its a bill of attainder and unconstitutional. presumably, they have worded the law in a way that avoids this for example by letting the president remove bytedance for being in violation if he considers them no longer in violation.
