The clock is ticking on a TikTok ban. Will the US ban the app? What you need to know.
usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/19/tiktok-ban-bill-law/73377253007/
Quick Glance: Will TikTok Be Banned in the US? Impact of a TikTok Ban
- The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly for a bill that would force Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok's US operations. The bill now moves to the Senate where its future is uncertain.
- The bill would deal a major blow to the popular app, used by as many as 170 million Americans. ByteDance would be required to sell TikTok's US operations within months of the legislation becoming law or face a nationwide ban.
- Even if Biden signs the bill, it will face legal challenges from TikTok and its supporters. The Chinese Embassy is lobbying against the legislation with congressional staffers.
- The sale of TikTok by ByteDance would take nearly a year, potentially aiding the bill in surviving legal challenges. YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram would benefit most from a TikTok ban.
