President Trump has issued a pair of executive orders to ban transactions with TikTok and WeChat, the latter of which is owned by Tencent, a company with a huge presence in games.

The executive order seeks to ban WeChat in the US within 45 days, as it "automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users," which "threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information".
