Apple isn’t following the law right now either. They just brought TikTok back to the App Store based on Trump’s promises. But it is still breaking the law.

Apple never brought it back to the App Store. TikTok has to be sideloaded in the US: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqldw5y4y0no

I wonder of all the people who read this comment and also drove today, what percentage violated speeding laws.
The TikTok law was meant to force divesture to a US company. The Supreme Court ruled on the legality of it at the very last minute, so there is broad bipartisan support for more time to find an acquirer, including Biden saying he won't enforce it on the last day in office.

And that was built into the law that if there was a potential buyer, it could be postponed. There is no potential buyer.
