Edit to add: “and veto the hiring of any executive involved with leading TikTok US data security organization” - this is dangerously close to saying the quiet bit out loud.
But if no one has heard of it, then no one would be using it. Why would you ban something that no one is using...
I wish this was merely a facetious response as opposed to the literal version of what the rule actually is.
We’d be fine if Bytedance were European, Australian, Japanese or even Indian. This is a problem with Russia and China, belligerent autocracies with whom our chances of near-term military confrontation is elevated.
Being indistinguishable from state owned / CCP controlled at a time of fraying diplomatic relationships and heightening military tensions with China.
Actually, all that does is allow the US gov the same level of control of tiktok that the CCP does.
