A Freedom of Information Act request has produced letters that the US Department of Justice sent to Google, Apple, Amazon, and several other companies in order to assuage their concerns about breaking a law that banned US web services from working with TikTok.
《信息自由法》的要求已发出了美国司法部发送给Google，Apple，Amazon和其他几家公司的信件，以减轻他们对禁止美国Web服务与Tiktok合作的法律的担忧。
The documents — obtained by Zhaocheng Anthony Tan, a Google shareholder who sued for their release earlier this year — show Attorney General Pam Bondi and her predecessor Acting Attorney General James McHenry III promising to release companies from responsibility for violating the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which required US companies to ban TikTok from app stores and other platforms or face hundreds of billions of dollars in fines. The law was intended to force a sale of TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, due to national security concerns.
The documents — obtained by Zhaocheng Anthony Tan, a Google shareholder who sued for their release earlier this year — show Attorney General Pam Bondi and her predecessor Acting Attorney General James McHenry III promising to release companies from responsibility for violating the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which required US companies to ban TikTok from app stores and other platforms or face hundreds of billions of dollars in fines.该法律旨在迫使其中国母公司Bytedance出售Tiktok，这是由于国家安全问题。
Additionally, the letters say the Justice Department will step in to prevent anyone else from attempting to enforce penalties, a promise that includes filing amicus briefs or “intervening in litigation.” McHenry apparently sent the first round of letters on January 30th, ten days after Trump signed an executive order delaying enforcement of the law, which took effect the day before his inauguration. A series of follow-up letters were sent by Bondi, including a round dated April 5th, just after Trump extended the delay on enforcing the law to mid-June.
此外，信件说，司法部将介入，以防止其他任何人试图执行罚款，这一承诺包括提交法庭案件或“干预诉讼”。麦克亨利显然在特朗普签署了执行命令后十天发出了第一轮信件，该信件延迟了法律的执行，该法律在就职前一天生效。邦迪（Bondi）发送了一系列的后续信，其中包括4月5日的一轮后，在特朗普将法律延长到6月中旬的延误之后。
The letters’ existence was known, but until now, their text had not been released. The full list of recipients includes the operators of app stores, cloud hosting services, and more:

Trump has since issued a third extension, which expires in mid-September, while promising a sale of TikTok by ByteDance to a non-Chinese owner remains underway. It is unclear whether any of the orders have a valid basis in law.
此后，特朗普发布了第三次延期，该延期将于9月中旬到期，同时承诺通过派对向非中国所有者出售Tiktok。目前尚不清楚任何命令在法律上是否具有有效的依据。
