US lawmakers have told Apple and Google to be ready to remove TikTok on January 19 – they’re facing hundreds of billions of dollars in fines if they don’t comply. Do you think this is the right move from US gov?
Pressure is mounting on Apple, Google, and TikTok as a January 19 deadline looms for compliance with a U.S. law targeting TikTok’s Chinese ownership.
Representatives John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), key figures in the House China Select Committee, sent urgent letters to the CEOs of Apple, Google, and TikTok. The bipartisan law, signed by President Biden in April, mandates TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app to a non-Chinese entity or risk a nationwide ban.
