A bipartisan bill could force Chinese tech company ByteDance to sell its popular video-sharing TikTok app within six months or face a ban from the United States.
The legislation would reportedly give TikTok’s parent company ByteDance 165 days to divest the app, or TikTok would be blocked from app stores and web hosting services in the United States. “This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive 5 million small businesses of a platform they rely on to grow and create jobs,” the Chinese app told BBC.
This latest legislation proposal is U.S. lawmakers’ most recent attempt at placing restrictions on the Chinese app, which has become immensely popular among young people.
