Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban

Salon  

President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to delay a ban on TikTok so he can find a way to save the social media app that he once tried to bar from the U.S. TikTok faces a ban if its parent company, ByteDance, does not follow a new federal law that requires it to be sold to a non-Chinese company by Jan. 19, the day before Trump is inaugurated. Trump's turnaround comes four years after he tried to ban TikTok through an executive order that directed ByteDance to divest its U.S. interests or face broad sanctions, The New York Times reported. The order, issued after Trump criticized China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, said the app "threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail and conduct corporate espionage," per The New York Times. Earlier this year, Trump told CNBC he still considered TikTok a national security threat but that young people "will go crazy without it" and that banning it would empower Facebook, which he said he considers "an enemy of the people."
