House passes bill that could lead to a TikTok ban; fight shifts to the Senate

On Wednesday, the House endorsed a bill that mandates China tech giant ByteDance to divest TikTok; otherwise, the widely-used social video app will face a de facto ban in the United States.

The proposal garnered strong support with a vote of 352-65, with one member opting to vote present.

Introduced on March 5 by Representatives Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, the legislation, titled the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, received unanimous approval from the House Energy and Commerce Committee just two days later.

The bill asserts that TikTok poses a national security threat due to its control by a foreign adversary, CNBC reported.
