My understanding is that the law doesn’t ban TikTok. The law gives the president the power to ban TikTok.
So the president can elect not to use said power.
The law quite clearly states bytedance aka tiktok so yea tiktok is 100% banned and the penalty is massive fines that would essentially bankrupt them.
The law quite clearly says it is the president's call. It is a new presidential power.

It is the President’s call for any _additional_ applications. It is not his call for TikTok or any other ByteDance applications.
