The Senate bill mandates TikTok's Chinese parent firm ByteDance to sell the app within nine months, with potential extension, and prohibits control over TikTok's algorithm, critical for video recommendations.
Legislation aims to prevent foreign espionage and harm to Americans, focusing on national security concerns rather than targeting specific companies, like ByteDance.
The House and Senate passage of this bill reflects bipartisan worries over data security, foreign influence, and is part of a larger aid package for Ukraine and Israel.
