      Or the fact that for all his faults. Biden said he was not going to enforce the ban. Which means the US government hasn’t blocked or banned tick tock.

        The app stores have taken them off too. The thing is there’s pretty steep fines for not doing it. So while Biden said he’s not going to charge the fines, that doesn’t mean the government isn’t watching. Trump could easily walk in and charge TikTok, Google, and Apple the full fine for that day of operation.
