Deep dives
The US Congress Considers a TikTok Ban
The US House of Representatives is contemplating a potential TikTok ban through a recent bill that could designate TikTok a national security risk. This bill, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, aims to address concerns over Chinese-owned apps with significant user bases. TikTok could be required to divest its ownership within 165 days if the bill passes, leading to significant implications for the app's future in the US market.
