Biden says he'll sign bill that could ban TikTok if Congress passes it | The Hill
In the United States, where the conflict with China is deepening, several laws have been enacted to restrict the use of TikTok by government agencies due to concerns about the danger of confidential information of American citizens being passed on to the Chinese government through the video sharing platform TikTok. I did.
Furthermore, on March 5, 2024, the ``Protecting Americans from Applications Controlled by Foreign Adversaries Act,'' a bill aimed at directly regulating TikTok, was announced as a strategic strategy between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. It was introduced in the House of Commons by a bipartisan group of MPs, including Mike Gallagher, chairman of the House of Commons Select Committee on Competition, and MP Raja Krishnamoorthi.
The bill would require TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell TikTok and other applications under TikTok within 165 days of enactment. If ByteDance does not agree to the sale of TikTok, the use of the app will be prohibited in the United States. The provision also allows the government to ban access to apps owned by foreign adversaries, including Chinese companies, if they are deemed to pose a national security threat.
In response to the bill being debated, TikTok posted on its app, ``Speak out now, before the government strips 170 million Americans of their constitutional right to freedom of expression.'' 'Tell Congress what it means to you and tell them to vote no,' asking users to voice their opposition to the bill.

Despite some resistance from some TikTok users, such as an influx of protest calls that even disrupted the phone lines of the Congressional Secretariat, the Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives announced that the Energy and Commerce Committee would be unable to proceed until March 2024. On the afternoon of the 7th, we unanimously voted to move forward with this bill. Foreign media Axios reports , ``It is extremely unusual for the bill to be passed unanimously, and this clearly shows how angry the committee members are with TikTok's pressure campaign.'' .

Meanwhile, when asked about this bill by reporters, President Biden replied, ``If it passes, I intend to sign this bill,'' and if the bill is passed, he will support the bipartisan bill. I have shown that I am in a position.
On March 8, Congressman Steve Scalise posted on his Twitter account, ``I will be introducing this important national security bill to the House of Representatives next week for a vote.'' It has been stated that discussions will proceed in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
???? The @HouseCommerce Committee just voted 50-0 to force TikTok to sever their ties with the Chinese Communist Party. I will bring this critical national security bill to the House floor for a vote next week.

In addition, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, ``The government hopes that this bill will reach the president's desk and be signed into law by the president.''
