NEW YORK CITY - TikTok is the center of scrutiny once again, as new legislation seeks to force its sale in the U.S. or ban the platform altogether. The House of Representatives will vote on the motion this week, following months of behind-the-scenes efforts at Capitol Hill.

TikTok has been a major concern for lawmakers from both parties for a while now. Such worries stem from a set of Chinese national security laws that compel organizations to assist with intelligence gathering, which ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, would likely be subject to as well.
