TikTok: Social media platform faces potential US ban if parent company ...
Quick Glance: Senate Passes Bill Requiring TikTok Sale Amid Ban Threat
  • The Senate has passed a bill on Tuesday that would compel TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the social media platform or face a ban. This controversial move by U.S. lawmakers is expected to encounter legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who depend on the short video app for their income.

  • The legislation, part of a larger $95 billion package providing foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel, was passed 79-18. It now awaits President Joe Biden's signature after he expressed his intention to sign it the day after its passage.

  • The revised bill extends ByteDance's deadline to sell TikTok to nine months, with a potential three-month extension if a sale is in progress. Additionally, the legislation prohibits the company from controlling TikTok's algorithm, a critical component that customizes user videos based on their interests and has contributed to making the platform a trendsetting phenomenon.

  • The passage of the bill reflects bipartisan concerns in Washington regarding Chinese threats and TikTok's ownership, catering to 170 million American users. Lawmakers and officials have long worried about Chinese authorities potentially coercing ByteDance to disclose U.S. user data or manipulate American users through TikTok's content regulation.
