President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that gives TikTok, a social media app owned by a Chinese parent company, 45 days to sell to its U.S.-based operations or cease operating within the United States.

This was the right call. TikTok is currently owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company that has long partnered with the Chinese Communist Party to suppress and control information. Indeed, the company is so closely tied to the Chinese government that it created an internal committee for CCP members and agreed to give preference to Communist Party members in all future hires. Unsurprisingly, content about China’s Xinjiang region, where nearly 1 million Uighur Muslims are imprisoned, began to disappear from ByteDance’s platforms — TikTok included.
