TikTok is facing a significant challenge as a bill set to be voted on in the House seeks to ban the app unless its Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance, sells it to a non-Chinese owner. The bill, expected to pass in the House, would still need approval from the US Senate and President Joe Biden to become law.
In response, TikTok has launched a vigorous campaign to oppose the bill. The company mobilized its users to contact local representatives and express their opposition. CEO Shou Chew has been actively lobbying senators, and TikTok is also preparing for potential litigation.
