Senate passes TikTok ban
Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?
  • Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.

  • The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.

  • Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.

  • Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.
