Is TikTok getting shut down? Congress flooded with angry calls …
Will TikTok be banned?
A key House committee voted unanimously Thursday to advance bipartisan legislation that would force China’s ByteDance to sell off TikTok or face a ban in the United States.
Before the 50-0 vote in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, lawmakers received a classified briefing on national security concerns raised by TikTok's Chinese ownership.
The legislation is widely seen as the most potent threat yet to the wildly popular app that is used by 170 million Americans.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Thursday that he supported the bill. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said he would send the bill to the House floor. If the full House approves the legislation, it will go to the Senate.
Why is the government trying to ban TikTok?
The White House also has thrown its support behind the bill, which was introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Tuesday. That further raises the political heat on TikTok.
"This bill is important. We welcome this step," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.
