Abstract

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act makes it “unlawful for any entity to distribute, maintain, or update” a “foreign adversary controlled application” in the United States. The act specifically applies to TikTok and its parent company ByteDance, which maintains significant operations in China. But the act provides that an application may be removed from the act’s coverage at any time if a “foreign adversary” no longer controls it and no longer has an “operational relationship” with it. The act takes effect with respect to TikTok on January 19, 2025. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
