President Biden has signed a bill into law that requires TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a ban in the United States. Despite this, sources have confirmed that the Biden-Harris campaign intends to continue using TikTok.
The legislation, part of a foreign aid package totaling $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, gives ByteDance nine months to divest from TikTok, with a possible three-month extension if a sale is in progress. The bill also prohibits ByteDance from controlling the platform's algorithm that curates user content.
