The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a bipartisan bill that could lead to a nationwide ban on TikTok unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform. Lawmakers supporting the measure cite national security concerns, alleging that the app's ownership structure allows for potential foreign influence and data privacy risks. Opponents of the bill, including digital rights advocacy groups and TikTok executives, argue the move threatens the First Amendment rights of 170 million American users and could disrupt the digital economy. The bill now heads to the Senate, where leadership has indicated a thorough review process will take place before any further action is taken.
