You make a good point. Trump will be out in 4 years and the new gov could possibly charge them then.

Gee sounds like it’s in TikToks best interest to support Trump next “election”.

I think they would still be open to civil liability, for services that compete with TikTok or anybody who could claim harm came from companies refusal to follow the law.

That raises the question of if u can pardon someone for something they have yet to be charged with?

USA has done “preemptive strikes” and “enhanced interrogation “, I’m sure they will find a workaround.

Yeah, Biden did that for Fauci and his entire family before he left office.

I don’t even think we need to wait that long, anybody with a product that “competes” with TikTok would have standing to sue Google, Oracle, and Apple for violating the law and causing harm to their business. The possibility of government penalties in 4 years is just the icing on the cake.
