The US Senate has decided not to fast-track the House bill aimed at forcing the divestiture of TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned social media app. The House bill, which was passed in a bipartisan vote, seeks to address national security concerns related to TikTok's handling of user data.
Despite the House's swift action, the Senate has chosen not to expedite the process of considering the bill. This decision indicates that the Senate may take a more deliberate approach in evaluating the potential impacts of the proposed divestiture.
