App users are already freaking out. In true TikTok fashion, somebody made up a song about it.

The gaming community thinks the executive order is the coming of the apocalypse. So do Tencent’s investors.

But they stopped panicking when the language in the order was clarified… Some of them aren’t very clever.
Update: A White House official tells LA Times that the new Executive Order will NOT affect gaming companies owned or having investments from Tencent. The order will be applicable only to transactions related to WeChat app & service. https://t.co/Ex83NTXpCD

Others think it’s a conspiracy… So does TikTok.

And naturally, the ACLU got involved, but Andrew Pollack spit some facts.

If you’re mad at TikTok potentially getting banned and not mad at the national security threat the app poses, you might be a Democrat.
