- The House Energy and Commerce Committee has pushed through a bill to ban TikTok on all electronic devices.
- TikTok could be banned from all US app stores unless the app spins itself off from its Chinese-linked company, ByteDance.
- “Today, we will take the first step in creating long-overdue laws to protect Americans from the threat posed by apps controlled by our adversaries, and to send a very strong message that the US will always stand up for our values and freedom,” said Washington Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
- ByteDance has around 5 months to sell TikTok.
