The U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce is expected to vote today on legislation giving China’s ByteDance six months to divest from TikTok or face a U.S. ban. Committee approval would set up a vote by the full House, which would be the first significant momentum for a U.S. crackdown on TikTok. Read more.

The new bill is aimed at bolstering the legal authority to address TikTok, which has about 170 million U.S. users. Former President Donald Trump tried to ban the app in 2020 but was blocked by U.S. courts. A U.S. judge in late November blocked Montana’s first-of-its kind state ban on TikTok, saying it violated the free speech rights of users.

Apple consumers urge appeals court to skip review in app store class action

In the latest case to pose the question of precisely how rigorous trial courts must be in certifying gargantuan class actions, Apple is asking the 9th Circuit to grant review of a ruling that certifies an antitrust class of tens of millions of iPhone and iPad users — even though the expert economist who developed the class model acknowledges that millions of class members suffered no injury. Plaintiffs lawyers fired back on Tuesday, arguing that there’s no need for the appeals court to double-check the trial court’s fact-specific analysis. Alison Frankel has the story.
