  I read the git history changes and while I generally think it’s somewhat of a nothing burger for savvy users, it is a scummy move that alienates their core user base at a moment in time where they were best positioned to expand their user base.

  Nobody is saying it would solve the problem but it might make me feel a little better

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok returns to Apple, Google app stores⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  Okay now China just needs to not sell and then in April we can sue Google and Apple out of existence right?

  Am I supposed to panic because it’s unlikely to hit? Meanwhile I’m out here wishing for death by meteor.

  Many thanks, I appreciate this

  Can somebody familiar with the law help me answer a few questions. I didn’t think the president had the power to delay a law taking effect. Would the next administration be able to collect fines from Oracle for continuing to host TikTok? Could any US company that competes with TikTok have standing to sue Oracle for violating the law and potentially costing them business?
