"Senate's Role in Determining TikTok's Fate Amid Ban Bill Furor"
The US Senate is taking its time to decide on a House bill that would force China-based ByteDance to divest from TikTok within six months or face a ban, with senators expressing concerns about national security threats from foreign apps and the need for strong legislation. While some senators want a quick decision, others, including Senate commerce committee chair Maria Cantwell, are seeking a more comprehensive approach that will hold up in court. TikTok's CEO warned that the legislation could lead to a ban on TikTok in the US, affecting creators, small businesses, and American jobs, while some senators have expressed support for acting quickly, others have raised concerns and want a full amendment process.
