The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act shouldn’t be enforced, orders President #Trump.

#PAFACA, the law requiring #ByteDance to sell #TikTok, is now in force. But the U.S. president seems to have changed his mind about the ban, despite concerns about security, press freedom and child safety.

A Day 1 executive order directs the DoJ not to enforce the law—for now. In #SBBlogwatch, we wonder why we still can’t install the app. @TheFuturumGroup @TechstrongGroup @SecurityBlvd: https://securityboulevard.com/2025/01/trump-eo-tik-tok-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc

@LilahTovMoon Yeah, the explicit namedrop here is VERY suspicious.

I always love it when politicians "solve" a problem that they themselves caused. 🙄

Except it's not even really "solved" yet. The US TikTok ban (which is literally written into law: #PAFACA) is not entirely off the table. As far I know, the US president is only allowed to extend the deadline by 90 days once, not to cancel the ban entirely. So we can expect another shitshow in 90 days. 😅

2020年乙型非典瘟疫泛流行在接下来几年彻底改变了社会的互动方式，数字社交进一步侵袭人际关系；年轻群体通过tiktok的政治参与成为令唐纳德落败2020大选的重要因素；

唐纳德于是声称作为中国公司的tiktok及其母公司字节跳动掌握美国用户数据是巨大国家安全威胁，利用他第一任期制造的中美贸易战及地缘政治对立鼓吹封禁tiktok。
不少红州纷纷响应并推出相关禁令
借着浓厚的排外主义，禁止中国企业在数字世界的影响力迅速成为两党共识，最终在通过参众两院后被时任总统拜登签署成法律 #PAFACA

与此同时，#tiktokban 依旧是唐纳德 #project2025 中关于「排除中国威胁」的重要组成部分

在2024大选中赢得第二任期的唐纳德一边逐步实施project2025， 一边声称会「拯救tiktok」；tiktok企业方也以向唐纳德捐款、参加就职典礼等方式极尽谄媚

编辑修正：
tiktok在PAFACA生效前一天的1.18夜间主动下线，并在唐纳德就任前一天的1.19下午恢复访问

#Europe needs to protect its citizens from foreign interference, not only from #Chinese platforms like #TikTok, #Temu, and #Shein, but also from the likes of #Meta and #X. #GDPDR needs an upgrade:

U.S. Courts “likely” to rule whether new law is constitutional—or even practical.

#TikTok’s #Chinese owner is suing the government to strike down last month’s law effectively banning the app. #ByteDance says the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (#PAFACA) is unconstitutional and the proposed remedies are impractical.

Plus, it says, the U.S. hasn’t stuck to its side of the bargain. In #SBBlogwatch, here’s a page For You. At @TechstrongGroup’s @SecurityBlvd: https://securityboulevard.com/2024/05/tiktok-sues-us-ban-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc
