"President Biden's day-old law" has been in the works in one form or another since at least 2020 when President Trump's ill-conceived and implemented EO failed at banning TikTok. US intelligence agencies were concerned about the app since at least 2017 when The CCP implemented its National Intelligence Law compelling data-sharing with the government and imposing a gag-order on such mandated sharing.

“We've been part of the community in San Diego for more than two decades and are thrilled to continue investing here as we expand our world-class teams.” – Apple, July 2022

“Decide on moving to Austin, Texas in ~45 days or else!” – Apple, January 2024

What an incredible F-You by Apple 

This is ridiculous. There should be a veto and after all appeals are exhausted Apple should pay a steep price if they're still found to be infringing Maximo's IP. An import ban at this point would cause unnecessary harm for consumers.

Facebook got it right, Apple didn't. Change it. 

One would think Google would implement timely updates after being sued for similar faulty info in the past. And I can't believe the victim blaming and outrageous claims/assumptions about the victim. A bit of digging from news stories years before the tragedy and looking at the attorney's filings show this isn't a case of a "money grab" or "sue everybody in sight" strategy. The named parties are all partially responsible for this man's death.

Tragically, as he drove cautiously in the darkness and rain, he unsuspectingly followed Google’s outdated directions to what his family later learned for nearly a decade was called the “Bridge to Nowhere,” crashing into Snow Creek, where he drowned. The complaint alleges Hickory residents repeatedly tried to get Google Maps to route traffic away from the washed-out, collapsed bridge, and to get the owners of the hazardous private road/bridge to fix the danger and erect proper barriers and warning signs until it was safe.
