The US Congress is making significant strides towards passing a bill that would compel the Chinese owner of TikTok to divest its ownership of the popular social media platform. This move comes amidst growing concerns over national security and data privacy issues related to the app's ownership by a Chinese company.
The proposed legislation aims to address these concerns by pressuring the Chinese parent company to sell its stake in TikTok. Lawmakers argue that the Chinese government could potentially access user data through the app, posing a threat to US national security.
