TikTok and WeChat, Trump's definitive ban: he leaves the United States on September 20
How did we get to this point? Why will apps leave the United States? Two more than legitimate questions, especially since just two days ago an agreement was practically given that would have made TikTok completely American. And instead it seems that every agreement has jumped between the Trump administration and the managers of Chinese social platforms, among which the developers of ByteDance obviously stand out.
Trump's executive order of August 6, 2020 has become definitive right in these hours. The US Department of Commerce then stated the following: "Today's actions prove once again that President Trump will do everything in his power to ensure our national security and the protection of Americans from the threats of the Chinese Communist Party." .
"Under the leadership of the President, we have taken significant action to combat China's malicious collection of personal data of American citizens, promoting our national values, rules-based democratic norms and strong enforcement of US laws and regulations ".
