14. What Trump or Biden says now is really meaningless

As of a couple of days from now, TicTok can no longer make or enforce contracts.

So, yes, if there is a presidential proclaimation then perhaps that will prevent other companies from shutting their lights off (immediately). But, if one of their advertizers refuses to pay them or if an ISP decides to insert their own ads into the TicTok web content they won't be able to go to court to protect their IP rights or enforce their contracts. Further, if a disgruntled TicTok user decides to sue an ISP for something said or seen on TicTok the ISP won't be able to hide behind the EULA... the company on the other side of the EULA is now an outlaw organization.

This is a legal quagmire.
