      Kids are all about the Tik Tok - curious if parents will actually crack down here.

        Probably not, but I have hear that the US may ban it.

            Trump says he's banning TikTok in the U.S. by executive order

            “As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington after a fundraising trip to Florida.

            Trump described the action as "severance" and said he could sign an order as soon as Saturday. “Well, I have that authority," he said.

              Actually, he doesn't. Executive orders have been abused for years. But be that as it may.

              I'm wondering what else he would ban if he could. If Donald Trump on a censoring rampage doesn't rattle your slats, nothing will.

              Thank god he's semi-literate.

                It’s just getting sold to a US company. A little help in moving the process along quickly.

                  Whether he’s right or wrong, I have a feeling a Trump thinks Executive Orders are his only way to run things the way he would in a private company where the owner has full power.

                    It may be a good idea to ban TikTok since it is essentially Spyware, but I have the feeling that Trump has some other motive.

                      HL Mencken's quote comes to mind.

                      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        Agreed. He either has intelligence reports of TikTok’s spyware danger or he’s still pissed folks on TikTok conspired to buy all his Tulsa rally tickets and not show, so it would look bad. I think it’s both.

                              Microsoft has, apparently, backed out.

                              And the fact that it's being pitched to a "US" company, does that put anyone's mind at ease?

                                          Interesting to see if they can get it done in 45 days.

                                          I am sure that Byte Dance has a higher expectation of what they think Tiki's Tok is worth.
