US House Passes Bill To Force TikTok Parent te Dance To Divest Or Face Ban | TikTok App Ban LIVE

The House is voting on legislation that could ban TikTok in the U.S. if Beijing-based ByteDance doesn't sell its stake in the social media platform, a bill that has attracted bipartisan support in just a week.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, was confident the bill would pass.

TikTok has repeatedly been targeted by lawmakers seeking to restrict the app over concerns that the Chinese government could force ByteDance to hand over the data of its 170 million American users. Lawmakers say the concern is warranted because Chinese national security laws require organizations to cooperate with intelligence gathering. TikTok has long denied it could be used by the Chinese government to spy on Americans.
