Deep dives

Republican House's Maneuvers Around Potential TikTok Ban

The Republican House passed a bill with bipartisan support to potentially ban TikTok unless it is sold to an American owner within a specific timeframe, citing national security concerns and potential Chinese government espionage. This legislation had President Biden's backing, contrasting with former President Donald Trump, who previously wanted to ban TikTok and recently opposed that decision after lobbying efforts. The issue reflects a broader debate on tech security and ownership of social media platforms.
