TikTok's parent company has to sell or face ban, US Senate says

Biden signed the bill into law yesterday (April 14) as part of a foreign aid package sending 95 billion dollars to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that includes a Bill that would ban TikTok if China-based parent company ByteDance fails to sell the app to an American company within a year.

TikTok is one of the most popular apps with children and young people worldwide, but it has also sparked considerable controversy.

TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, has nearly a year to divest or face a ban as US lawmakers say the company poses a security threat.
