"House Vote Looms: The Impending TikTok Ban Explained"

The US House is expected to vote on a bill that could lead to a nationwide ban against TikTok unless it is spun off from its China-linked parent company, ByteDance, due to concerns about national security and data privacy. The bill is facing resistance from former President Trump, Democrats, and TikTok itself, with bipartisan support expected for the bill's passage. If passed, the bill would give ByteDance five months to sell TikTok, and President Biden has expressed willingness to sign it. However, the fate of the legislation in the Senate remains uncertain, and TikTok is fighting back, calling the bill an attack on freedom of expression.
