TikTok Faces Uncertain Fate in US
Bytedance Faces Deadline for Divestiture
The fate of TikTok in the United States remains uncertain as Congress considers legislation that could lead to a national ban of the popular video-sharing app. The law, which cleared the Senate on Tuesday, would give ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, 270 days to divest its US operations.
Divestiture or Ban
If ByteDance fails to divest its US operations by the deadline, the app will be banned in the country. The law is intended to address concerns about TikTok's data collection practices and its potential ties to the Chinese government.
ByteDance has said it is committed to complying with US law and has no plans to sell its US operations. However, the company has also said it is exploring a range of options to address the concerns of US lawmakers.
The future of TikTok in the US is uncertain. If ByteDance is unable to divest its US operations, the app could be banned in the country. However, if ByteDance is able to address the concerns of US lawmakers, TikTok may be able to continue operating in the US.
