US House passes bill requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok within 6 months

From Yahoo:

The House passed a bill giving China’s ByteDance 6 months to divest TikTok or face a US ban. The vote revealed national security concerns and unusual partisan alliances. The legislation faces challenges in the Senate as some fear legal issues. A majority of Republicans and some Democrats supported the bill.

The bill, if enacted, could lead to a ban on the popular news source for young people with 170 million American users. Argument arises over data collection and alleged Chinese government control. ByteDance denies government ties and criticizes the bill as potentially devastating for American creators who rely on TikTok.
