Lawmakers Tell Apple and Google to Prepare for TikTok Ban

House select committee leaders are urging TikTok's sale and for Apple and Google to prepare to remove it from app stores by January 19, 2025. This follows a federal appeals court upholding a law requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban. The law, signed in April, stems from national security concerns. TikTok has filed an emergency motion to halt the ban while awaiting a Supreme Court appeal, highlighting ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Chinese-owned tech companies.
