Congress approves bill banning TikTok unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells platform
ft.com/content/d84df824-19c0-4105-ae95-816dd0618efb
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.

U.S. Senate passes bill forcing TikTok's parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature
ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/u-s-senate-passes-bill-forcing-tiktok-s-parent-company-to-sell-or-face-ban-sends-to-biden-for-signature-1.6859538
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.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
- Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.
- Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.
- Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.
- Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.
