LAWYER EXPLAINS WHY APPLE CAN'T BRING TIKTOK BACK TO THE APP STORE YET

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple has removed TikTok from its App Store because of the company's obligation to follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates. While President Trump has assured that the law banning TikTok would not be enforced, some experts say the promise offers minimal security. Trump could change his mind at any time or selectively enforce against companies that fall from political favor. Future administrations would almost certainly be free to pursue violations. The financial consequences of non-enforcement could be severe, even for a company of Apple's stature.
