TikTok said the Biden administration must give the likes of Google and Apple reassurances that they won’t be punished, or they will pull the app in the U.S.
TikTok faces a potential ban in the US by January 19th due to a law requiring it to divest from its parent company, ByteDance, over concerns about Chinese government access to American user data.
While the Supreme Court upheld the law, the White House won't enforce it until after Trump's inauguration, leaving the fate of the popular app in the hands of the incoming president. TikTok has threatened to shut down completely if the US government doesn't provide reassurances to app stores like Google and Apple, despite the lack of clear enforcement mechanisms.
