The Senate passed legislation that would force TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban. The newly minted law could face an uphill legal battle, as TikTok has promised to sue over the potential ban.
The proposed legislation is part of a broader effort by the U.S. government to address national security concerns related to TikTok's Chinese ownership, with fears that the app could be used to collect user data or spread misinformation. However, TikTok has argued that a ban would be unconstitutional and has vowed to fight the measure in court, setting the stage for a complex legal showdown that could have far-reaching implications for the tech industry and U.S.-China relations.
