President Joe Biden has signed a foreign aid bill that will ban TikTok in the U.S. unless its parent company, Chinese-owned ByteDance, divests within a year.
The company has an initial nine months to sort out a deal, though the president could extend that by another three months if he sees progress, reports @theverge. However, TikTok has said it will be fighting the bill in the courts, claiming “facts and the Constitution” are on its side.
@TechDesk hope TikTok does not sell, as the rest of the world also does not need the USA dominating all the major social networks. A mix of ownership isa good thing.
