US House of Representatives bans TikTok, bill sent to Senate
On Wednesday, March 13, the U.S. House of Representatives supported a bill to ban TikTok in the United States. The bill requires the video service to be separated from the Chinese parent company ByteDance within 6 months, and if this does not happen, TikTok will be banned in the country.
One step closer to banning TikTok in the US: committee supports bill, Biden to sign
The US Congress Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously (50 votes to 0) supported a bill that would require the Chinese company ByteDance to either get rid of the TikTok app or face a ban in the US. The House of Representatives is to consider the draft “Protecting Americans from Apps Controlled by Foreign Adversaries Act” next week.
