"""President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an executive order that would ban the social media app TikTok from operating in the US in 45 days if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance."""
What about individual freedoms and the free market? Or, better yet, regulations that destroy businesses and the economy?
""The order does not state that a certain amount of money from the sale needs to be sent to the US Treasury Department, which the President has been insisting on for several days."""
I hate TikTok and have no issue with it going away. However, the fact that an executive order is what is forcing this private business transaction is a huge overreach of executive action and government intrusion.
It is crazy, if Obama had done this to a company destroying the environment or mistreating workers the right would go crazy.
Hypocrisy.......
