She claims that people were pretending to be her - over a year ago.

One of the challenges of tik tok and some other social media is that accounts of popular users are frequently duplicated by others. There is a financial incentive to do so. I know of a number of people who have found others setting up such spoofed fake accounts. It is one of the downsides of tik tok. On Facebook, one is seeing a lot more fake news - reports of celebrity deaths or alleged judicial rulings that make one group or another happy. It is the wild west out there.

Honest question, 2/3rds of the problem seems to be with the app. The weird permissions and all of the background data the app is gathering. So why not ban the app, but allow the website? The website should have a lot less access to private information, no?

That effects the videos that they see, yes, and lets them be manipulated, but the privacy concerns and data tracking (which seems to be the big issue) becomes moot.

Dude you have no excuse for this. The law did not require them to shut down. What the law requires, in the event of non-divestiture, was for the app stores to stop distributing the app or updates to the app. This is happening today, the law is behaving as it was meant to.
It was ByteDance’s own decision, or perhaps that of the CCP, to turn it off today. The reason they did that is to get the useful idiots we call TikTok users to pressure the US government on the CCP’s behalf.
They decided to undo their own decision because TFM announced he will give them a 90 day continuance, which he can do exactly once under the law.

Why is Trump on the side of the CCP here? I don’t get it. Even getting donations shouldn’t sway him - it’s so opposed to his brand.
Any explanations?

More than a few attorneys suggested that it was not smart for Tik Tok to stay up - so long as their was ambiguity in interpretting the law - and with over a billion dollars a day in potential fines - best to take it conservatively. Even as early as this morning, Trump wasn't saying unambiguosly that he'd do the extension.
But you're right, it also meant maximum pressure on Trump, congress critters, etc. Tom Cotton and Ed Marky have made themselves targets.

Again, nothing in the law required TikTok to turn itself off. The law required the app stores to not make them available and same with internet providers re the website.

No doubt the General Counsels of Apple and Google will recommend following the law even if an executive promises not to enforce it. Though I’m sure they’d make the app available again for 90 days when Trump invokes the one-time 90 day continuance.
