House Passes Bill to Compel TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Face US Ban The House approved a bill, backed by both parties, to require TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the app or risk a US ban. The move reflects growing concerns over national security and Beijing's influence on technology. Despite TikTok's efforts to rally its US users against the bill, it passed with strong support. The bill faces hurdles in the Senate and potential legal challenges, but it marks a significant step in the ongoing battle over Chinese-owned technologies in the United States.
