Is Tiktok Getting Banned In The Us 2023

TikTok Sale or Ban Looms as Biden Signs Bill

Subheadline: Popular app's US future uncertain

Subheadline: Legislation gives TikTok nine to 12 months to sell or face ban

TikTok's future in the United States is uncertain after President Biden signed a bill that would ban the popular app unless it is sold by its Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance.

The legislation gives ByteDance nine to 12 months to sell TikTok to an American company or face being banned from operating in the US. The move is the latest in a series of crackdowns on Chinese tech companies by the Biden administration, which has cited concerns about national security and privacy.

TikTok has been under fire for months over its data collection practices and its ties to the Chinese government. The company has denied sharing user data with the Chinese government, but the concerns have continued to grow.

The legislation is likely to face legal challenges, and it is unclear whether TikTok will be able to find a buyer that is acceptable to the US government.

TikTok is one of the most popular apps in the world, with over 1 billion users. It is particularly popular with younger users, who use it to create and share short videos.

The ban on TikTok would be a major blow to the company, which has been growing rapidly in the US. It is also unclear what impact the ban would have on the app's users.

The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in March and by the Senate in April. President Biden signed the bill into law on April 23, 2024.
