US President, Biden, approves bill to ban TikTok if ByteDance refuses to sell

The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has approved a bill that would ban Tiktok if its parent company, ByteDance, refuses to sell the social media platform.

The “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Application Act” was one of several measures pertaining to international aid that Biden signed a day after the Senate gave its approval.

The bill, which has now been signed into law, was rapidly approved by the House on a bipartisan basis and the Senate voted in favor of moving it ahead on Tuesday, 79–18.
