ByteDance will get up to a year to divest TikTok or face a ban.

Does the legislation also include penalties for Samsung for preinstalling TikTok on my fucking Smart TV and making the app non-removable ?

Who the hell would want to watch vertical videos on a smart tv??

Have you met the people of the land?

I think people that are very interested in TikTok largely overlap with the vertical video crazies :-)

Have you like, talked, to a teenager or early 20 year old at all during the last three years? Either you don’t understand the huge cultural impact tiktok has had for that age group, or you think every single person that age is a “vertical video crazy”.

Sounds about right to me ^

Just mount the TV at a 90° angle. Problem solved.
