The House passed legislation that could trigger a nationwide ban of TikTok if its Chinese owner doesn't sell. This effort is attached to a foreign aid bill supporting Ukraine and Israel, with an extended deadline for TikTok to find a buyer.
President Biden supports the bill, fast-tracking the potential for TikTok to be sold or banned, a first-time U.S. government action against a social media platform.
National security fears over Chinese government influence through TikTok include propaganda and surveillance. However, there is no public evidence of such activities by China through the app.
