The bill to ban Tik Tok was approved by the majority of the US House of Representatives

The US House of Representatives passed a bill banning the Chinese technology company Tik Tok by a majority, after which if Tik Tok does not separate from the Chinese company within 6 months, it will be banned in the United States.

The legislation is a major blow to TikTok, which has grown in popularity over the past few years but has repeatedly been criticized by Western countries for being owned by the Chinese video-sharing company and heavily influenced by China’s Communist Party. have expressed their concerns.
The future of the bill remains in question as the bill needs to be approved by the Senate after Congress to be enacted, but critics have criticized the decision as being so harsh against such an application. How can a step be taken that has 17 million followers in the US alone?
A statement from the White House said that if the bill reaches President Joe Biden’s desk, he will sign it into law under the ‘Protecting Americans from Foreign-Controlled Applications Act’. .
Under this bill, TikTok’s parent company (main company) ‘Byte Dance’ will have to sell the application within 180 days, otherwise it will be banned from the Apple and Google Play stores in the US.

The bill regarding the ban comes as a surprise to TikTok because US President Joe Biden joined TikTok last month as part of his presidential campaign, according to the Wall Street Journal.
TikTok Chief Executive Officer Xu Zhiqiu is in Washington these days trying to garner support to block the bill.
