U.S. lawmakers have instructed the CEOs of Google-parent Alphabet and Apple to be ready to remove TikTok from their U.S. app stores by January 19. This directive follows a federal law mandating the sale or ban of the popular short-video app.
The potential removal of TikTok would significantly impact Apple's App Store, as TikTok is used by 170 million Americans. This action underscores the escalating national security concerns surrounding Chinese-owned applications.
Apple's compliance with this directive would demonstrate its adherence to U.S. regulatory mandates, but it also highlights the challenges of operating a global platform amidst geopolitical tensions.
