If the bill is signed into law, the social media platform's China-based owner would have roughly one year to find a U.S. buyer or the app will be banned nationwide.
The House passed legislation on Saturday and it moves to the Senate this week."I don't know that banning it is necessarily the right call," said Anya Draves, a University of Pennsylvania student.
The decision by House Republicans to include TikTok as part of a larger foreign aid package, a priority for President Joe Biden with broad congressional support for Ukraine and Israel, fast-tracked the ban after the earlier version had stalled in the Senate. If the bill is signed into law, ByteDance would have roughly one year to find a U.S. buyer or the app will be banned nationwide."I think there are a lot of ways people are gathering our data, and I don't know that it's necessarily going to solve that by banning that app," said Draves.

Private College Costs Exceed $90,000, Making College Education Expensive for Wealthy FamiliesA number of private colleges have exceeded the $90,000 threshold for the first time this year as they set their annual costs for tuition, board, meals, and other expenses. This means that a wealthy family with three children could expect to spend over $1 million by the time their youngest child completes a four-year degree. However, many colleges with large endowments have been focused on making college more affordable for lower-income students.
