Like it's not quite clear on what basis the court would just kind of delay things. Although the court does issue these administrative stays sometimes to buy time while deciding a case whose exact basis is a little unclear. Controversy about that. And at oral argument, I think just one of the justices, maybe Justice Alito, asked the SG, Braylugger, Like, would you be okay with us doing that?

Or would there be any reason that that would be illegal? And she said, I think you could do it if you wanted to. The court didn't want to.

Well, so one of the things we're saying is that shortly before the decision was issued, President Biden announced that he was not going to enforce this law. Yeah, what does that mean, though? I think the law imposes fines on people who cooperate in distributing and hosting TikTok. Yeah. So he's not going to do it.

We know that... But Trump... But I mean, the fines wouldn't be imposed until he had left office anyways. Well, right. So there's an interesting question in general about to what extent you can be punished for...

violating the law when you got an authoritative statement by the head of the executive branch that the law is not going to be enforced in the interim there's a sort of debate about like does that operate as a does that mean that president trump could collect fines for the conduct during the time you relied upon the biden memo or not so it's a little vague

It could both be unlawful and effective. It's possible that the Biden is not supposed to do that. It's a violation of the take care clause, but his doing it might. Now, I don't, I assume if you're TikTok, you probably have called president Trump by now to find out what he's going to do.

And if he's going to take office and his first executive order is going to be to pause the enforcement of the act for 270 days or something like that. Then you might not go dark.

And of course, there's also a question of, we've been told that there's no way that ByteDance will agree to sell TikTok with the algorithm. Yeah. When is being going to be forbidden by the Chinese government for doing so? Yeah.

But you always wonder whether any of that was a negotiating position or whether at this point they would be willing to let it go with a worse version of the algorithm or what. So we'll find out. I mean, I won't find out because I'm not on TikTok, so I wouldn't know if TikTok went dark.

I'll read about it on the uncool, being a middle-aged dad, I am on TikTok and Blue Sky and a little bit of Facebook. So I'm sure on those old, old-gen social media, they'll at some point mention whether the kids are still on TikTok or not.
