Bill passed by Senate gives China-based ByteDance up to one year to divest Tiktok before facing deletion from US app stores

The US Senate passed a Bill that will either ban TikTok or force a sale of the short-form video app. Photograph: ANTONIN UTZ/AFP via Getty ImagesThe Bill passed in the House on Saturday by a margin of 360 to 58, as part of a foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. It will now make its way to the desk of US president Joe Biden, who has previously said he would sign the legislation.

Politicians have argued that TikTok’s China-based parent company could collect sensitive user data and censor content that goes against the Chinese government – claims TikTok denies. Multiple contentious congressional hearings have covered what TikTok’s data privacy practices are. “At the stage that the bill is signed, we will move to the courts for a legal challenge,” Mr Beckerman wrote in the memo, which was first reported by the tech news website the Information. Mr Beckerman claimed the Bill violated the first amendment of the US constitution, which protects freedom of speech.
