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.

Quick Glance: Senate Passes Bill to Force Sale of TikTok
- The Senate passed a bill that would compel TikTok's parent company to sell the platform or face a ban, sparking legal challenges and affecting content creators reliant on the app for income.
- The updated legislation extends ByteDance's deadline to sell TikTok to nine months, allowing a potential three-month extension if a sale is underway.
- The bill also prohibits the company from controlling TikTok's algorithm, which customizes user content and has been central to its appeal as a trendsetting platform.
- The bill's passage reflects bipartisan concerns in Washington over Chinese threats and TikTok ownership, used by 170 million Americans, amidst worries of Chinese authorities influencing or accessing US user data.
