TikTok Ban in United States: US Senate Approves Bill Banning Popular Chinese App If Owner ByteDance Refuses to Sell It

The US Senate has approved a bill that could potentially lead to a ban on TikTok if ByteDance, its parent company based in China, does not sell the popular app. The legislation stipulates that ByteDance must sell TikTok to a firm that has no affiliations with U.S. adversaries, such as China, Russia, or Iran, within a period of 270 days, roughly nine months. President Biden has the option to extend this deadline by an additional 90 days if he observes “significant progress” towards a sale. If TikTok is not sold within the specified timeframe, it risks being prohibited in the United States. TikTok has consistently refuted any connections to the Chinese government and has stated that it would resist any attempts to access U.S. user data. TikTok Ban: US Moves Closer to Banning TikTok as House of Representatives Votes to Ban Chinese App If Parent Company ByteDance Refuses to Divest.
