    The whole idea about forcing TikTok to be sold, is that right now TikTok doesn’t have to obey any laws.

      Who is out there saying this? That’s ridiculous. Are foreign people exempt from our laws when they visit? No? Then why would you believe foreign companies are exempt?

            TikTok app merely being operational in the US is not presence. Implying that would be as ridiculous as giving a country jurisdiction over you becaues you sent a letter there.

              It absolutely is presence. Otherwise the Brazilians couldn’t deal with X either. This is far more than sending a letter. And pretending we have no jurisdiction over companies operating in our country is ridiculous.

                Any real arguments for falling under jurisdiction for sending network packets? Does it have to be a company, or do you also have to abide by jurisdiction of the country I’m in? My server is in? Your server is in?

                  This isn’t a joke. This is pretty settled law. If you’re offering services in a country you must abide by their laws.
