(Washington, DC) — The House is approving a bill that could lead to the forced sale or nationwide ban of social media app TikTok.
The bill requires TikTok’s parent company, Chinese-owned tech giant ByteDance, to sell the app within 180 days or see it banned from U.S. app stores. Lawmakers are concerned the Chinese government can access the personal data of millions of Americans.
TikTok has an average of over 100-million American users per month.
