Banning a social media app is unprecedented in the United States and raises various concerns among a wide variety of interested parties. These concerns range from whether the President could legally take such action to whether First Amendment rights were violated to simply why even target a seemingly nonsensical social media app. This Article attempts to answer these questions and provides guidance to foreign tech companies that wish to continue doing business in a United States that glaringly disapproves of any company with ties to the government of the People\u2019s Republic of China.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author: Gabrielle Supak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PDF:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.law.unc.edu\\\/ncjolt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/NCJOLT-Vol.-22.3_527-573_Supak.pdf\">http:\/\/journals.law.unc.edu\\\/ncjolt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/NCJOLT-Vol.-22.3_527-573_Supak.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volume 22, Issue 3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July 2020, former President Trump issued an Executive Order attempting to unilaterally ban TikTok, a social media platform used mainly by teenagers to post videos of dances or viral challenges.
