TikTok ban now ‘inevitable’ after House overwhelmingly passes bill forcing sale
NY Post
The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bill that will ban TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese owner divests from the company — making final passage into law “inevitable,” insiders say.
The ban was tied to the vote on a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and has gotten comparatively little attention.
The TikTok bill passed by a vote of 360 to 58. The full aid bill has yet to be voted on, but is expected to pass
Roughly 150 million Americans are on TikTok and there have been growing fears among lawmakers about what influence its Chinese Communist owners have on the company.
In recent months TikTok has made headlines for promoting Osama Bin Laden and urging young users to choke each other.
After Hamas’ terrorist massacre in Israel, the company has faced accusations of promoting Hamas propaganda and turning younger Americans toward Islamic terrorism.
