We begin on Friday, August 14th, President Trump signs an executive order that will force the Chinese tech company, ByteDance, to sell or spin off the popular video social media app TikTok within 90 days. Under the latest order, TikTok buys some time to make a deal happen in addition to ByteDance being expected to destroy all copies of TikTok data from American users.
If a deal cannot be completed where TikTok is bought by an American corporation, the app will be banned in the U.S. But even if a deal is made, are we really going to be led to believe that ByteDance will destroy all data it collected from American users? If you believe that, I got some ocean front property in Oklahoma for sale.
