A controversial bill is making its way to the floor of the House, with potential implications for the popular video-sharing app TikTok in the United States. The bill, which has raised concerns about TikTok's ties to China, was unanimously passed by a key committee. Owned by ByteDance, TikTok's association with the Chinese government has sparked worries among lawmakers.
If the bill becomes law, ByteDance will have 165 days to sell TikTok or face a ban from U.S. app stores. Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, a key figure in the bipartisan effort to regulate TikTok, highlighted the bipartisan support for the legislation.
