President Biden signs law to ban TikTok nationwide unless it is sold
Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale
  • President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

  • This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

  • TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

  • This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Senate passes TikTok ban
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: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
