Mr. Biden Has Officially Revoked Tangerine's Orders Targeting TikTok and WeChat... Separate, Lawful Task Force Created.


This effectively ends all the federal litigation that BiteDance, TikTok and WeChat were winning, anyway. It also takes a measured, sound policy-based, and sane -- non-ad hominem (in retaliation for the failed Baby T Tusla rally / over-subscription stunt) -- approach to securing data that might pass near or through Chinese state controlled servers.

Here's the actual fact sheet released this morning, by the White House:

. . .The Biden Administration is committed to promoting an open, interoperable, reliable and secure Internet; protecting human rights online and offline; and supporting a vibrant, global digital economy. Certain countries, including the People’s Republic of China (PRC), do not share these values and seek to leverage digital technologies and Americans’ data in ways that present unacceptable national security risks while advancing authoritarian controls and interests. . . .


So much for the power alley, it would seem. . . smiling. Bye, Tangerine.

नमस्ते
