"President Biden Open to Signing TikTok Ban Bill"

President Biden stated that he would sign a bill that could lead to a ban of TikTok, a popular video-sharing app owned by China-based company ByteDance, if it passes. The legislation, known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, would require ByteDance to sell TikTok within six months or face a ban from U.S. app stores and web-hosting services. The Justice Department has outlined the potential risks TikTok poses, including data collection and influence campaigns by the Chinese government. The bill is set for a vote on the House floor next week, with concerns raised about its legal standing and potential impact on user expression and income.
