House Passes Bill to Ban TikTok Unless ByteDance Divests, Senate Decision Pending

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill to ban TikTok in the U.S. unless its Chinese owner ByteDance divests, with the bill's fate now in the hands of the Senate.

• The House passed the bill with a bipartisan vote of 352-65, aiming to address national security concerns over TikTok's Chinese ownership.
• Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not yet committed to bringing the bill to a vote in the Senate, where its passage remains uncertain.
• President Joe Biden has indicated he would sign the bill into law if it passes both chambers of Congress.
• TikTok and its supporters argue the bill infringes on free speech and could harm businesses and creators who rely on the platform.
• The bill's proponents argue it is necessary to protect U.S. national security and user data from potential exploitation by the Chinese government.
