The bill prohibits app stores and any internet hosting service (''including VPNs'') from allowing TikTok to be downloaded or updated. The President may extend this ban to any app that is at least 20% owned by a company based in China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran, and is "a significant threat to the national security of the United States". | ||
