TikTok to Face Senate Pressure as House Advances Ban
Efforts to Restrict Video-Sharing Platform Escalate
Subcommittee Approves Bill Amid Broader Amendment
Lawmakers in the House have taken steps to escalate pressure on the Senate to restrict the widely popular video-sharing platform TikTok. The House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology recently approved a bill as part of a broader amendment that aims to ban TikTok in the United States.
The proposed legislation, if passed by the full House and Senate, would prohibit TikTok from operating within US borders. Lawmakers have expressed concerns about the platform's alleged ties to the Chinese government and the potential national security risks it poses.
While the bill has been advanced by the House subcommittee, it remains unclear whether the full House or Senate will approve it. The Biden administration has not yet taken a formal stance on the proposed ban, and it is uncertain whether the legislation will ultimately become law.
