The US House of Representatives is set to vote on the TikTok bill, which aims to force ByteDance to sell its interests in the app or face a ban in the US. If the bill passes, ByteDance will have 165 days to divest from TikTok. Failure to do so would result in US app stores being prohibited from offering TikTok.
In mere hours, the US House of Representatives will vote on the TikTok bill under “suspension of the rules”. Under suspension, floor debate is limited, all floor amendments are prohibited, points of order against the bill are waived, and final passage requires a two-thirds majority vote. The goal is ByteDance to sell its interests in the viral short video app, or face a ban in the US.
If everything goes to plan (the bill passes and Joe Biden signs it), ByteDance will have a 165-day deadline to divest from TikTok. Should it not pass the control of TikTok to an American-based company, US app stores (like Apple's, Google's and Samsung's) would be prohibited from offering TikTok in the country.is possible, and I’m not writing off any scenario. Let’s explore what happens if somehow ByteDance doesn’t sell TikTok to any US-based firm and things go south.“You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies”, as David Fincher’s Social Network (2010) slogan state
