Risky Business #776 -- Trump will flex America's cyber muscles

@riskybusiness At 20:22 "but what he [Trump] can do is sign an EO giving them 75 days" (extend the TikTok ban). Except that (a) an EO cannot nullify a law (dispensing with laws was removed from English common law in 1689), (b) the law does provide for an ability to extend the time period before the ban, but apparently not before it goes into effect, and (c) it requires not an EO but the president to certify to Congress that the company has taken steps towards divestment, which it hasn't. It's a lawless EO. [not a lawyer but have read lawyer comments on this] Also, pretty sure Google and Apple DID remove TikTok from the app stores but Oracle and Akamai are the service providers that put themselves at legal risk by violating the law in response to a president-elect's social media post.
@riskybusiness The Apple and Google app stores continue to block TikTok. They are in compliance with the law; Oracle and Akamai are not.
