House GOP Moves Forward with TikTok Ban Despite Trump's Opposition

Despite former President Trump's recent opposition, House Republicans are set to vote on a bill that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban, highlighting the app's contentious status amid national security concerns.

• House Republicans are expected to vote on a bill that would require ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban, despite former President Trump's opposition.
• Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok citing national security risks, now opposes the ban, arguing it would benefit Facebook, a company he criticizes.
• The Biden administration supports the bill, with President Biden indicating he would sign it into law if passed, citing national security concerns over TikTok's Chinese ownership.
• The bill has received bipartisan support, passing through the House Energy and Commerce Committee with a unanimous 50-0 vote.
• Critics of the bill argue it could infringe on First Amendment rights, while supporters see it as a necessary step to protect national security.
