Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US?

The US won’t block it, but it will be blocked. Tik Tok itself said it will turn off it’s servers and block US ips like it did with India.

So it will be tik tok itself enforcing the ban. Which is hilarious. USA showed all this bravado and now has to turn around and beg tik tok to return. I fully expect in the long run tik tok will be sold to Chinese agent Elon Musk and be turned into the spy apparatus US claims it to be. The whole situation shows what a clown USA is.

Why anyone who matters care enough to beg them to come back?

How should I know? But you have Biden insisting he won’t enforce the law and Trump promising he’ll stop the ban and make sure tik tok stays. He’s even inviting their CEO to his inauguration. On the other hand it’s tik tok threatening to shutdown now if they don’t fix it sooner. It’s a strange turn of events but I have no idea why USA thinks begging is the appropriate move.
