Trump administration provides first details on how a TikTok ban would work
https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/14/tech/trump-tiktok-ban-details/index.html(CNN Business)President Donald Trump's looming ban on business dealings with TikTok will not restrict the social media app's employees from receiving wages or benefits, and will not make it a crime for those employees to perform their day jobs, the US government said in a court filing Monday.
The disclosure reflects the first concrete details the federal government has disclosed about how Trump's ban against TikTok would be implemented. Trump's Aug. 6 executive order outlining the ban has been met with confusion because it does not explain what Americans must do to comply with the order, but describes stiff penalties for those who violate it.
The filing also marks a stark reversal by the government in a legal challenge against Trump's ban brought by a US-based TikTok employee.
The employee, Patrick Ryan, had requested a temporary restraining order from Judge Vince Chhabria that would block the Trump administration from enforcing the ban against worker wages.
