You are still leaving out that using TikTok still won't be illegal in the USA, it won't be blocked either, just that TikTok won't be able to do businesses in the US (i.e. sell ads), or having other companies do business with it (so no app on the iPhone).

It is not like the states are going to block TikTok with a GFW that doesn't exist. Of course, the inability for TikTok to make money in the USA is going to be a huge hit that the company probably can't get out of.

Are they proposing to arrest people who have TikTok on their phone and encouraging you snitch to the police of you see people using tiktok? what Indonesia is doing is on a completely different level.

Weren't egregious tariffs what allowed the USA to develop its own industry, instead of being smothered by the much bigger British industries ?
