The House of Representatives passed a bill that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell the video app in 165 days or face a total ban in the United States.
If ByteDance does not sell, app stores including the Apple App Store and Google Play would be legally barred from hosting TikTok or providing web hosting services to other apps controlled by the Chinese parent company. The Bill contends that ByteDance is effectively under the control of the Chinese government in Beijing — a regime that could demand access to 170 million Americans who use TikTok.
