Apple says it’s following the law by removing TikTok from the App Store
It’s the law — for now.
Pursuant to the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, apps developed by ByteDance Ltd. and its subsidiaries — including TikTok, CapCut, Lemon8, and others — will no longer be available for download or updates on the App Store for users in the United States starting January 19, 2025. Meanwhile, people who visit the US from other countries where they’re still available won’t be able to download or update apps while inside US borders. Now Apple is making clear that until something changes, it’s following the law as written, and it appears Google is doing the same thing.
