US Senate Passes $95 Billion Security Package with ‘TikTok Ban’ Provision

The United States Senate has approved a $95 billion national security package that includes a provision targeting TikTok, the popular short-form video app. The legislation, known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controller Applications Act, aims to force TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, to sell the app within nine months. Lawmakers have expressed concerns that TikTok user data could be shared with the Chinese government due to a Chinese law requiring companies to cooperate with national security requests. TikTok has denied any wrongdoing, but the bill reflects ongoing national security concerns about the app.
