US Congress Passes TikTok Divest-or-Ban Law

| China Tech

President Biden signs the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's US operations within 270 days or face a ban. The law passes with overwhelming bipartisan support — 360-58 in the House, 79-18 in the Senate — after a classified national security briefing. ByteDance immediately challenges the law in federal courts, arguing it violates the First Amendment.
