TIKTOK: One-Step Closer to Banned in USA
Written by KingCnote on April 22, 2024
The United States Senate is expected to take up foreign aid bill that includes language banning TikTok.
The House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to force the Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or the app will be banned in the United States.
Congress attached $60 billion of foreign aid to Israel and Ukraine with hopes the Senate will pass this bill. It’s the second time that the House pushed a TikTok ban. Last time, it stalled in the Senate as a stand-alone bill.
ByteDance promised to fight any ban. The CEO pledged to the 170 million TikTok users in the United Stated (quote) “We will not stop fighting to protect this amazing platform that we have built with you.” (Axios)
