Lawmakers in the United States are pushing for action against ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of popular social media platform TikTok. Concerns have been raised about national security risks associated with TikTok's handling of user data and its ties to the Chinese government.
A new bill has been introduced in Congress that would require ByteDance to divest its ownership of TikTok or face a ban in the US. The proposed legislation aims to address the potential threats posed by TikTok's data practices and its potential for foreign influence.
