The executive is unilaterally deciding users cannot have an app on their phone, and that as a US citizen I cannot access APIs in another country simply because the executive has declared it.
For me it is all about how this is implemented and there is no way I can see this not being implemented in a way that serves as a vast expansion of government powers.
Do they shut tikTok out of DNS?
Do they tell people they aren't allowed to install the app?
Do they tell google and apple they aren't allowed to have the app in the app star?
Do they block their IPs from being routed in the US?
There's no real way to bring a "TikTok" ban into effect that doesn't constitute a massive increase of power the executive has to regulate the internet.
On the flip side I 100% think we need to figure out how to get TikTok out of here as it is 100% a tool by the CCP. So I am conflicted and confused.
