They think banning TikTok will solve everything.

How is this actually going to work? Someone has to have mentioned that the kids will just sideload the app, or use a VPN to access it via the web, and that it'll seem even cooler now that you're doing something "illegal" and sticking it to The Man

I mean, I guess teaching kids how to use android's file systems is a net positive...

I am awaiting a redux of that infamously bad Mel Gibson ad about vitamin supplements, with the SWAT team breaking into Charli D’Amelio's mansion and she says "What the heck, I'm just dancing, guys!"

there are many different ways. for example, google and apple can work together to brick the app on their phones like they did with parler, which all the liberals cheered at the time.

oracle, an american company, can decide to pull the server infrastructure to comply with the law like amazon pulled the servers on parler

all american financial services companies can decide to not work with tiktok to comply with the law like what happened with parler

i used to listen to his podcast about linguistics, then somehow (can't remember details) picked up some subtle weird lovely politics vibes from him, so i read his wikipedia page and immediately unsubscribed after what i saw there. total piece of poo poo.

oh i think the tip-off was that he was extremely weirdly obsessed with old dead white composers who suck rear end

actually you will find through media literacy that it was Trump who banned TikTok, but Biden stopped the ban until he found a new reason to ban it, so children and progressives are to blame if Biden loses in November

basically they're trying to starve out the app. there's civil penalties of $5,000* per user of the app within the USA, and then those penalties apply to anyone who touches the digital ecosystem in a way that allows the app to exist. ~100 million users in the country, so that's a $500 billion fine. Google and Apple are definitely on the hook because they run the marketplaces and servers that people get the app from, so if this gets signed the app will probably be immediately delisted from the app stores.

I don't think ISPs are liable - it calls out hosting services separately from where it calls out services to "distribute, maintain, or update such foreign adversary controlled application (including any source code of such application) by means of a marketplace". So a sideload and a VPN would probably work. But I would be sweating if I was an ISP, because if people can just sideload the app from a foreign server and get right back on Tiktok, you better loving bet the feds are gonna come knocking on the ISP's doors.

*there's also a thing in there where a company who has gotten the Presidential pink slip has to implement a way for users to request all their data from the platform, and if they don't, it's another $500 per person.

Yeah, the government doesn't have to actively stop people from sideloading it to enforce the ban. Payment processors stop handling tiktok funds, etc.

Like, the US government has essentially never enforced SESTA-FOSTA. But paypal and all the major cash transfer apps will immediately retain funds if they suspect is to pay for any sort of sex work, skype and other videochat platforms created autodetect monitors for nudity, etc.
