TikTok Ban in the US: House Votes Advance Bill
Potential Ban Moves Closer to Reality
Bill Calls for TikTok Sale or Shutdown
The potential US ban against TikTok has taken a major step forward. On Saturday, the House of Representatives voted to advance a bill that could lead to the social media app being banned in the United States. The bill, which was approved by a vote of 220-202, would require TikTok to sell its US operations within 90 days or face a ban.
The bill is a significant development in the ongoing saga over TikTok's future in the United States. The Trump administration had previously attempted to ban the app, but those efforts were blocked by the courts. The Biden administration has taken a more nuanced approach, but President Biden has supported the effort to force TikTok to sell or face a ban.
If the bill passes the Senate and is signed into law, it would represent a major victory for those who have been calling for a ban on TikTok. They argue that the app poses a national security risk because it is owned by a Chinese company, ByteDance. They also allege that TikTok censors content and suppresses dissent.
TikTok has denied these allegations, and it has filed a lawsuit against the US government over the ban. The company says that it is committed to protecting user data and that it does not censor content or suppress dissent.
The future of TikTok in the United States remains uncertain. The bill that was passed by the House still needs to be approved by the Senate and signed into law. Even if the bill does become law, it is possible that TikTok will challenge it in court.
