Trump orders ByteDance to divest interest in U.S. TikTok operations within 90 days

 Judging from the new deadline, it seems that the pressure is released a bit. But this one gives real legal power.

 "The new order adds to pressure for ByteDance to divest TikTok, and legally buttresses the U.S. government’s crackdown on the Chinese-owned social media app. It authorizes U.S. officials to inspect TikTok and ByteDance’s books and information systems to ensure the safety of personal data while the sale talks are ongoing.
