President Biden Signs Bill to Potentially Ban TikTok in the US
President Biden recently signed a bill passed by Congress that could lead to banning TikTok in the US within 12 months unless its Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance, divests from the platform. This move follows former President Trump's threat to exclude TikTok and WeChat from the US market, resulting in lawsuits, discussions on the realities of the threat, and a deal to purchase TikTok.
