The bill has to also pass the Senate before being signed into law. If it does, ByteDance will have six months to find a new owner.

    “Will be banned unless it is sold to an American company”

    I think that explains their mentality. No such thing as security concern. They just don't like it when others are making money.

            being american is like a cult, you really think you are living in the greatest country and you live in a distorted reality

              Im kind of glad i don't live in the US. They just do whatver convinces them. First it was banning Huawei cuz they were too OP. And now is this cuz Instagram is bleeding

                imagine putting half of the effort they put against chinese in the medical and educational system
                so much for the land of free
                if i'd be china i'd really play this game and start banning all us services and products so they can figure out that at the end there are only losers

                    The danger behing tiktok? Idiocracy, spreading of stupidity and false believes and missinformation. Yeah there are a lot of dangers in this tik tok that does not seam to want to obey the rules. In china tiktok is used for learning, and only learning videos are allowed, in west, the dumber the better, with no reglementations. Trend to burn down places, trend to dance without bra and whatever stupid thing on your head, and other moronic inducing trends are all over tiktok that seems to have no regulations for the west to protect the minor, quite on the contrary...So yeah. BAN.

The contents are nothing but full of land-filled rubbish. There're literally thousands of same copy contents when searching for something. At least Instagram is more enjoyable. I myself rarely use neither of them anyway. Ban 'em all :/

Why is the federal gov worried about a platform that is peoples LIVELIHOODS and only source of income instead of banning guns that kill thousands (including kids) a year. Also, they're worried about China getting RTX 4090's for AI advancement and TikTok when Temu is a literal data breach.

                            Land of the free is just a ploy. Totally not free. The EU is may more consumer-friendly.

                              Say what you want to say about how good TikTok might be, but I really do hope it gets banned, because let’s face it, the app and everything posted on it is trash.

                                    This is very ridiculous, if Tiktok hadn't grown to the point of threatening American women, the USA would never put on this show.
