The U.S. will ban some transactions over the Chinese-owned WeChat app while prohibiting new downloads and updates of the app as well as TikTok’s app starting Sunday.

The order doesn’t apply to operations or cash transfers outside the U.S., which had been a concern of some U.S. tech companies. The Commerce restrictions place the onus on Apple Inc. and on Alphabet Inc.’s Google to delete both the TikTok and WeChat apps from their U.S. app stores by Sept. 20. While people who already have the app on their phone won’t be impacted, the apps will be degraded over time if users can’t get access to updates.The ban could also impact U.S.

Welcome to the New American Reich

This will be bad for trump. Young people/voters are thriving on this platform. It’s a very bad move before the election.

Chancellor Merkel : This is all nonsense 😂. Why was your NSA eavesdropping on my phone calls, Trump?

U.S. Banning use of WeChat and TikTok for the fluffy bruised ego of Donald Trump; which a significant percentage of its users loathe and campaign against. (I fixed it.)

Young people, this is muzzling you; you know what to do now. Mobilize your friends and vote Trump out.

This is all a strategy to cover up real plan for mega Trump donor to 'save' Tik Tok when really it is just as bad if Larry Ellis gets his hands on it.

Trump is stoking China fear admist his own failures

U.S. to start blocking TikTok and WeChat downloads SundayBREAKING: US plans to block TikTok and WeChat downloads, Commerce Sec. Ross says, asserting national security and data privacy concerns. ACLU: 'Selectively banning entire platforms like TikTok and WeChat violates the First Amendment and does little to protect our personal data from abuse.' If today Trump can ban Tik Tok for a national security excuse. He can ban Twitter, Facebook or anything he doesn't like. It is not too difficult for China to use Twitter or Facebook to steal American's data. If national security were a big issue with the Trump administration and the SenateGOP, they would pass election security bills that have been sitting on their desks for years now instead of worrying about TikTok. This entire group is a joke.
