Summary
Will TikTok be banned in the US? The House recently passed a bill that could ban TikTok unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, sells its stake within a year. This bill, supported by both Democrats and Republicans due to national security concerns. The deadline for ByteDance to divest could extend up to nine months, with an additional three months if a sale is in progress. However, TikTok is prepared to challenge this in court, citing First Amendment rights for its 170 million US users. While the bill has made significant progress, previous legal challenges suggest TikTok might withstand this latest attempt. What do you think, will TikTok really be banned?
