Overview
- The House recently passed a bill potentially leading to a nationwide TikTok ban, which now heads to the Senate, bundled with foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel.
- The bill gives TikTok up to a year to sell to a new owner or face a ban, with the possibility of a 90-day extension by the White House.
- President Biden has indicated support for the legislation, which could expedite its approval.
- TikTok has criticized the bill as unconstitutional, threatening users' First Amendment rights, and may challenge it in court.
- If the Senate approves, TikTok will have 270 days to comply or potentially be banned from U.S. app stores and internet hosting services.
