And even if *Trump* could be trusted, the law is subject to a five year statute of limitations. Trump’s successor could go after them for violating the law — which provides for massive penalties.
Apple and Google would be absolute idiots to trust Trump on this. Whatever his EO says, they would be in violation of a duly enacted law if they continue to carry TikTok…which means that they would be under a sword of Damocles and Trump would have leverage over them for anything else he wants
Trump’s TikTok executive order is out - it directs the DOJ to promise app stores and services providers that it won’t enforce the law for 75 more days. And in true incoherent Trump fashion, it then also says the EO is not an enforceable promise here in 3(c). Perfect. www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24...
