TikTok Ban-or-Divest Bill Set to Be Signed by Biden Into Law

The US Senate voted to ban TikTok’s ownership by Chinese parent ByteDance Ltd., setting the stage for a constitutional clash over whether the prohibition deprives US users of their First Amendment free speech rights.

The measure, which also includes aid to Ukraine, Israel and Tawian, won sweeping bipartisan approval from senators worried about the app’s collection of data from more than 170 million American users as well as the potential for China to use it for propaganda purposes. President Joe Biden has said he will sign the measure into law.
