And how do they do that? With the threat of banning / not allowing them to operate.
- jpgvm 4y agoThe laws are stated. If you publish an app the the App Store that violates US law you can be sure it's taken down pronto as well. TikTok isn't violating US laws, they just want it removed for "national security reasons". The US has plenty of better options to deal with this like applying broad data privacy legislation such as what EU and China have enacted, creation of a regulator to enforce this and inspect entities to ensure they are playing by the rules etc.
