Joe Biden REVERSES Trump’s executive orders targeting Chinese-owned TikTok, WeChat


9 Jun, 2021 15:44

US President Joe Biden revoked his predecessor Donald Trump’s executive orders that targeted the popular platforms TikTok and WeChat on Wednesday.

Biden formally revoked several executive orders, including two August 6, 2020 orders titled “Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok” and “Addressing the Threat Posed by WeChat,” as well as the January 5, 2021 order titled, “Addressing the Threat Posed by Applications and Other Software Developed or Controlled by Chinese Companies.”
(...)
Trump frequently focused his energy on taking on TikTok and other Chinese-owned platforms while president and had even threatened to ban them as a national security risk unless the companies sold their American operations to US owners.
