"US Congress Revives Legislation to Push TikTok Ban Amid Bipartisan Ire"

TL;DR Summary
Legislation that could force a TikTok ban in the U.S. if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake has been revived as part of a House foreign aid package, with an extended deadline for the sale. The bill has bipartisan support but faces opposition from the company, content creators, and some lawmakers who argue it would trample on free speech rights and have significant economic repercussions. If passed, it would be an unprecedented move against a single company and a significant step in tech industry regulation, but critics argue it sets a dangerous precedent and raises constitutional concerns.
