Le avocat explica por qué Apple no puede volver a poner TikTok en la App Store para instalarlo.

The temporary ban of TikTok for US users may have been short-lived, but the app is still absent from the iPhone App Store. Here's why an attorney says Apple cannot bring it back at this time.

Unenforceable guarantees do not provide much assurance regarding the decision of the App Store to remove TikTok.

If you have TikTok on your iPhone, the app is now functioning again after a short period of screen lock Saturday evening in the US and until Sunday.

But if you haven't downloaded it yet, there is currently no way to obtain the app in the US.

Apple removed it from the App Store due to its obligations "to follow laws in the jurisdictions where it operates."

President Trump assured technology companies that the ban on TikTok would not be implemented, which led to the restoration of the service by Oracle, the US host, Sunday.

However, a legal expert explains why Apple should not follow suit and restore the app to the App Store.

Best answer from BCGeiger liked by 4 people. This makes perfect sense. You didn't mention that, rather than the mechanism in the law that banned this service, the use of an executive order renders even questionable whether Trump's order is legal and would be enforceable before a court. No, Apple is absolutely reasonable not to restore it until the legal situation is resolved. I understand why Google and Microsoft did the same. Alan Z. Rozenshtein writing for Lawfare:

The promise of non-enforcement offers minimal security. As mentioned above, courts rarely treat such promises as mandatory, even when defendants suffer serious consequences by relying on them. Trump could change his mind at any time or selectively enforce it against companies that fall out of favor politically, and a future administration, taking advantage of the five-year statute of limitations law, would certainly be free to pursue violations independently of Trump's views.

In other words, Trump's guarantees may not have much value later, especially before a court, and the financial consequences of non-enforcement could be severe, even for a company like Apple. Rozenshtein's full piece explains the context and history behind the neglect of unenforceable guarantees in courts, and it is well worth reading if you doubt why Apple has not restored TikTok until now.
