Tik Tok Banned: Donald Trump bans Chinese apps TikTok and WeChat

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered an unspecified ban on “transactions” with the Chinese Apps such as TikTok and WeChat. It is still unclear if he has the legal authority to actually ban these apps from the US.

Times of India Rrporting: The twin executive orders — one for each app — take effect in 45 days. They call on the commerce secretary to define the banned transactions by that time. The orders’ wording is vague, but leaves open the possibility that hosting the apps in the Apple and Google app stores could be covered by the ban.

According to India Today's Report: The orders come as the Trump administration said this week it was stepping up efforts to purge “untrusted” Chinese apps from US digital networks and called the Chinese-owned short-video app TikTok and messenger app WeChat "significant threats." The TikTok app may be used for disinformation campaigns that benefit the Chinese Communist Party, and the United States "must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security," Trump said in one order.
