No, Donald Trump can't 'ban' TikTok

Although the Trump administration has painted a ban on TikTok as a simple action, experts told Business Insider it's not so easy. These other possible actions Trump could take, however, raise concerns about violations of First Amendment rights, as well as how effective they would be in actually restricting TikTok in the US.The continuing geopolitical dogfight over TikTok has seen President Donald Trump saying he may "ban" TikTok. But the reality, multiple experts say, is that any ban would take extraordinary legal steps — and still not actually keep Americans from using the app.
Because TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, questions have circulated around how much access and influence the Chinese government is afforded over the app's user data and content moderation. The Trump administration escalated those concerns in early July when officials, including the president, expressed a desire to ban TikTok in the US, citing national-security risks.
