A TikTok content creator speaks to reporters outside the US Capitol, April 23, 2024, in Washington, as senators prepare to consider legislation that would force TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban, a contentious move by US lawmakers.LONDON—TikTok is in the crosshairs of authorities in the US, where new legislation threatens a nationwide ban unless its China-based parent ByteDance divests.
TikTok is already banned in a handful of countries and from government-issued devices in a number of others, due to official worries that the app poses privacy and cybersecurity concerns. Those fears are reflected in the US bill, which is the culmination of long-held bipartisan fears in Washington that China’s communist leaders could force ByteDance to hand over US user data, or influence Americans by suppressing or promoting certain content. TikTok has long maintained that it doesn’t share data with the Chinese government and its CEO has taken a defiant stance, vowing to fight back.
