Avocat presse la Maison Blanche et le ministère de la Justice de clarifier que les magasins d'applications peuvent continuer à proposer TikTok.

On January 17, a lawyer representing TikTok content creators called on the White House and the Justice Department to provide clarity to Apple and Google regarding the availability of the TikTok short-video app in app stores on Sunday, when a legal ban is scheduled to go into effect.

Jeffrey Fisher, who advocated for TikTok users in the legal challenge to the crackdown law at the Supreme Court, addressed Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden in a letter on Friday. Fisher emphasized that the law requires TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, to cease operations on Sunday unless the administration intervenes.

In his letter, Fisher stated, We respectfully request that you direct the Justice Department to pause enforcement until there is further definitive guidance. He further requested clarification that no app store, internet hosting service, or provider would be at risk of enforcement or penalties related to TikTok, CapCut, or any other ByteDance apps until additional guidance is issued.
