TikTok once again faces a potential ban.
A new measure threatening to ban TikTok passed a vote in the House on Saturday. The legislation in question threatens to ban the social media app from use in the United States unless TikTok owner ByteDance elects to divest the platform. This new, updated bill will now move onto the Senate where it'll be voted on there as part of a larger bill encompassing foreign aid.
Now, the updated bill looking to ban TikTok has been bundled with other actions in a larger bill including aid for Israel and Ukraine. In doing so, the overall bill will have to be looked at differently since any actions taken for or against the TikTok ban will impact those attempts at foreign aid as well. The new vote passed 360-58 in a similar display compared to last time with a few more in support of it this time around.
That's up to the Senate next, and as mentioned previously, the way the new bill is packaged does at least make it seem more likely that it gets passed even if it's not going to move quite as quickly as it did through the House.
