The law that the US Supreme Court approved on Friday to ban TikTok has been removed from app stores today, with the company’s TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, and other apps belonging to the company.
The US House of Representatives approved a bill last year that would ban TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, in the US unless its assets were sold to another company.
“This bill protects Americans, and especially American children, from the harmful effects of Chinese propaganda on the TikTok app. This app is a spy baloon on Americans’ phones,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said after the vote.
