The US Senate has approved a controversial landmark bill that could see TikTok banned in America.
It gives TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, six months to sell its stake or the app will be blocked in the United States.
The bill will now be handed over to US President, Joe Biden, who has vowed to sign it into law as soon as it reaches his desk.
If that happens, ByteDance will have to seek approval from Chinese officials to complete a forced sale, which Beijing has vowed to oppose.
The measure was passed as part of a package of four bills which also included military aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other US partners in the Indo- Pacific.
It got widespread support from lawmakers with 79 Senators voting for it and 18 voting against it.
Shut that shit down in the US, get US teens to use VPNs set to not-the-USA so they can keep using TikTok, and thus get a whole generation into widespread VPN use.
you say that like the US can’t just get backdoor access to US VPN providers and criminalize non-compliant VPN use.
