That said, I donโt see how the White House can legally forbid a company from making it available on their App Store, or ppl downloading , or block specific IP addresses that TikTok uses, etc.
Most they could do is lobby Congress to pass a law (good luck) that would try and do these things (and probably be found 1st amendment unconstitutional, or leave work arounds or loop holes open. .
If Congress passed a sanctions law, that could forbid Apple and Google from receiving payments from ByteDance, and that *might* be enough for them to pull it from their app stores, but the Feds can't do that without Congress .
If Apple and Google opted to host the app anyway because it is popular, I do not think the US government would have much recourse. They could create regulations about that might be obeyed for a while until the challenge worked its way through the courts, but chances are the first level of federal court would quickly approve an injunction while the case was argued through the court system, since not doing so would clearly cause immediate damage to ByteDance. Likewise with a law, which would be hard to write to be loophole proof
Read about the hardware restrictions on Huawei. Even that was not simple and loopsholes are found etc. With software, it is going to be even harder.
