Washington — Legislation that could ban TikTok in the U.S. if Beijing-based ByteDance doesn't sell its stake in the social media platform is moving quickly in the House, with lawmakers expected to hold a vote Wednesday morning.
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.
