Congress just passed a potential TikTok ban. Here's what happens next

Congress has passed legislation that could result in a nationwide ban of TikTok, significantly impacting the company’s operations in the United States. The bill, which is part of a foreign aid package supporting Israel and Ukraine, now awaits President Joe Biden’s signature. If signed into law, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, would have 270 days to sell the app or face a ban. The legislation allows for a potential extension of 90 days if progress is made towards a sale. TikTok has vowed to legally challenge the bill, arguing that it infringes on Americans’ speech rights and harms small businesses.
