The TikTok ban law also applies to other apps owned by TikTok's Chinese parent ByteDance, like Lemon8. ByteDance could be betting that regulators and app store companies are so focused on TikTok that they won't pay attention to its other apps

If this actually happens it’ll be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
