TikTok and its service providers are liable. "No one is enforcing" is meaningless, because they can still be prosecuted retrospectively if the US Government changes its mind.

Yup. They even asked for clarification on the "no enforcement" and the Biden administration basically just said "it is what it is".

What big company is going to take a risk like that?

What are they risking, exactly? The entire company has essentially been banned from the country, so they have nothing to lose.

Being fined for not doing what the people in power what them to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Hmmm existing with fines vs. not existing. Quite a dilemma.

What big company is going to risk a fine tomorrow for profit today? Literally all of them?
