"TikTok Bill Backlash: Pence's Regret, House Ban, and App Troubles"

Senator Ted Cruz argues that the controversial bill to force TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the app or face a ban in the US will benefit users by preventing Chinese influence and protecting privacy. He and other senators aim to clarify that the bill is not about stifling creativity but about safeguarding against manipulation by the Chinese Communist Party. The bill, which has faced opposition from TikTok, has passed the House and is expected to be considered by the Commerce Committee.
