The US attorney general told at least 10 tech companies, including major players like Apple and Google, they faced no liability for supporting TikTok, despite a federal ban. President Trump ordered a hold on enforcing a law designating TikTok a national security risk due to Chinese ties. TikTok briefly disappeared from app stores following the ban but returned after 26 days, with Bondi's letters promising no prosecution. These letters were released after a Freedom of Information Act request followed by legal action.
"Under orders from President Donald Trump, Bondi has refused to enforce a law passed by Congress last year that classifies TikTok as a national security risk due to its ties to China."
"Despite the law still being on the books, TikTok returned to the stores after just a 26-day hiatus after the ban went into effect, with letters ensuring no prosecution for companies involved."
