Then why subsequently say that they follow the laws of every country they operate in? They don't, so whether the FBI makes the laws is not relevant.

The UK made the law years ago and someone in authority said they were going to start enforcing it.

In the case of TikTok, the law was passed a year ago and the executive branch said they wouldn’t enforce it.
