House members are telling Apple and Google to be prepared to comply with a law that could result in TikTok facing an effective ban in the U.S.

Summary

House Committee members urged Apple and Google CEOs to prepare for compliance with a law potentially banning TikTok in the U.S. next month.

This follows a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling upholding a law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok by Jan. 19 to address national security concerns. Without divestiture, app stores must block TikTok.

TikTok has filed an emergency injunction, citing harm to businesses and creators, while arguing the law is unconstitutional.

Trump’s stance on enforcing the ban remains unclear, amid reports of his ties to TikTok investor Jeff Yass.
