The US Senate approved a bill requiring ByteDance, the China-based parent company of TikTok, to sell the app within nine months, extendable by three months, or face a ban. The bill, part of a $95 billion package for foreign aid, awaits President Joe Biden's signature. Concerns over Chinese ownership and data privacy underpin the move, with potential legal challenges and opposition anticipated from TikTok users, content creators, and China. TikTok denies sharing US user data with Chinese authorities. The bill reflects bipartisan apprehensions in Washington about TikTok's ownership.
