I asked Commerce officials to respond to the notion that preventing users from downloading security updates undermines security, as some experts have argued. One official dismissed it as “simplistic criticism.” More 👇 https://t.co/8H028veKUU — PolitiTweet.org

The restrictions *exclude* last-mile ISPs like Comcast or Verizon, and instead target back-end transactions over CDNs and under peering and transit agreements. — PolitiTweet.org

Users who've already downloaded the apps can continue using them, the officials said, though WeChat users may experience interruptions and outages as a result of the Department’s additional restrictions placed on internet infrastructure companies. — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox Business, Wilbur Ross says the TikTok restrictions will simply prevent users from downloading updates, implying they’ll still be able to use the app. https://t.co/C3X4Lq2dLI — PolitiTweet.org

Walmart could still have a role to play but no final decisions have been made. Cabinet officials including Mnuchin, Ross and Barr are said to be supportive of the deal; Pompeo was undecided until today and told Trump he’s comfortable with it. https://t.co/ijAmdqOwOx — PolitiTweet.org

A person familiar with the TikTok deal tells me the government sent a new term sheet to ByteDance & Oracle last night. The revised deal still has ByteDance as majority shareholder, with Oracle hosting TikTok data and reviewing its code for security. https://t.co/ijAmdqOwOx — PolitiTweet.org

Trump goes on to boast that there’s no legal mechanism for this payment because “nobody” has suggested it before, as if everyone was too dumb to figure it out and not that doing so would raise serious ethical questions. https://t.co/g0ApGOPNm1 https://t.co/VDyJPZaUn2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump also said he was “not going to be happy” if the deal turns out to be ByteDance retaining majority ownership of TikTok. “Conceptually, I can tell you I don’t like that,” he said. “If that’s the case, I’m not going to be happy with that." — PolitiTweet.org
