TL;DR Summary

House Republicans are pushing for a bill that would force Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban, despite former President Trump's opposition to a ban due to concerns about boosting Facebook's influence. The bill has bipartisan support and is seen as a move against China's influence. TikTok, with 170 million U.S. users, has become a key issue in the 2024 presidential campaign, with both Biden and Trump expressing national security concerns. The legislation would require ByteDance to divest TikTok and other apps within six months to avoid a ban, sparking strong opinions across party lines.
