US House Approves Bill to Potentially Ban TikTok from App Stores and Government Devices

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, does not sell its stake within a year. This decision comes after earlier versions of the bill had stalled in the Senate due to concerns over the six-month selling deadline and other priorities. The bill aims to protect Americans, particularly children, from what U.S. officials perceive as Chinese propaganda on the app. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill next week.
