Description: A new bipartisan bill in Congress would give ByteDance 180 days to sell off TikTok before the app would be banned in the US. Lawmakers introducing the bill say it presents a choice for ByteDance rather than an outright ban on TikTok. Concerns center on TikTok user data access by China and the potential for propaganda and misinformation spreading. Previous efforts to address these issues through executive orders were stalled or faced legal challenges. The bill advanced out of committee unanimously and House passage is expected next week before heading to the Senate.
