TikTok could be under new ownership at this time next year, after President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a bill that gives the social media company about 12 months to either divest from its Chinese owner or face a U.S. ban.
TikTok is vowing to fight the new law in the courts, with CEO Shou Chou saying in a video posted to the service yesterday that "the facts and the Constitution are on our side."
