The bill gives TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance nine months to sell the popular platform or the app will be blocked in the US.

The possibility of a ban on TikTok in the US has moved a step closer after the Senate agreed a landmark bill to force its China-based parent company into selling the app. The bill gives ByteDance nine months to sell the popular social media platform - with the possibility of a three-month extension to finalise a deal - or the app will be blocked. The bill passed through the Senate on Tuesday as part of a larger $95bn package that provides foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel.

The bill is a culmination of long-held fears on both sides of the political spectrum in Washington over ownership of TikTok. For years, politicians and officials in the US have expressed concerns that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over US user data. TikTok has said it has never done that and would not do so if asked.
