Original Note:
A CN is misleading. The bill prohibits "Providing services to distribute, maintain, or update […] **by means of a marketplace**": AppStore and Google Play can’t distribute TikTok or push updates, but it doesn’t require TikTok to shut down. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7521/text Only a hosting company is at risk. https://variety.com/2025/digital/news/why-tiktok-shut-down-us-ban-law-1236278209/
