Abstract

The US Congress is fast-tracking a bill that would require TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its ownership of the social media platform. The bill is expected to be included in a package of bills that also provide aid for Ukraine and Israel. The House has already passed the bill, but changes have been proposed in the Senate to give ByteDance more time to divest. The legislation has support from those concerned about data privacy and national security, but it has also faced opposition from those who believe it infringes on free speech and could harm individuals who rely on the app for their livelihoods.
