The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would give TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, about six months to divest its American assets or face a ban, citing national security concerns related to China.
While the bill passed with bipartisan support in the House, it faces a more uncertain path in the Senate, where some lawmakers favor a different approach to regulating foreign-owned apps that pose security risks.
