The bill that could lead to a ban of TikTok in the United States appears to be much closer to becoming law. The legislation sailed through<\/ins><\/a> the House of Representatives last month, but faced an uncertain future in the Senate due to opposition from a few prominent lawmakers.<\/p>\n

But momentum for the \u201cProtecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act\u201d seems to once again be growing. The House is set to vote on a package of bills this weekend<\/ins><\/a>, which includes a slightly revised version of the TikTok bill. In the latest version of the bill, ByteDance would have up to 12 months to divest TikTok, instead of the six-month period stipulated in the original measure.<\/p>\n

That change, as NBC News <\/em> notes<\/ins><\/a>, was apparently key to winning over support from some skeptical members of the Senate, including Sen. Maria Cantwell<\/ins><\/a>, chair of the Senate Commerce Committee. So with the House expected to pass the revised bill Saturday \u2014 it\u2019s part of a package<\/ins><\/a> that also includes aid to Ukraine and Israel \u2014 its path forward is starting to look much more certain, with a Senate vote coming \u201cas early as next week,\u201d according to NBC<\/em>. President Joe Biden has said he would sign<\/ins><\/a> the bill if it\u2019s passed by Congress.<\/p>\n

If passed into law, TikTok (and potentially other apps “controlled by a foreign adversary” and deemed to be a national security threat) would face a ban in US app stores if it declined to sell to a new owner. TikTok CEO Shou Chew has suggested the company would likely mount a legal challenge to the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that the House of Representatives is using the cover of important foreign and humanitarian assistance to once again jam through a ban bill that would trample the free speech rights of 170 million Americans, devastate 7 million businesses, and shutter a platform that contributes $24 billion to the U.S. economy, annually,\u201d TikTok said in a statement<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
