๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ I guess there is no legal basis anyway for banning video upload app, just because it is Chinese. Trump is an idiot. And ๐
There is a legal basis: congress passed a law, the president at the time signed it, TikTok sued, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against TikTok. That's a legal basis by definition.
Perhaps you mean that there is no rational basis. That's a reasonable position you can argue for.
In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.

There is a legal basis. US can ban Russian Times paper, too.
