If by "Georgia", you mean the U.S. state of Georgia,


"It shall be unlawful for an entity to distribute, maintain, or update (or enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of) a foreign adversary controlled application by carrying out, within the land or maritime borders of the United States, any of the following …"


I do not see anything in the law saying that citizenship status matters.


If by "Georgia", you mean the country of Georgia, you will have to ask TikTok, the government of Georgia, and/or Apple what is going on there.

It is illegal to distribute TikTok and other ByteDance, Ltd. apps in the United States.


Congress passed a law (the "Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act") that required ByteDance, Ltd and TikTok to divest themselves of Chinese Government control, or else have the distribution of their applications – including mobile apps, desktop applications, and Web sites – banned.


ByteDance, Ltd. and TikTok did not meet the divestment requirements (and show no interest in doing so), so the ban went into effect a few days ago.


Apple and Google pulled the app from their U.S. app stores in compliance with U.S. law.
