Greenville, Spartanburg influencers react to US efforts to ban TikTok.

On Wednesday, the House approved a bill where ByteDance would be forced to sell TikTok or face a practical U.S. ban from app stores and web-hosting services if it is signed into law, according to a story in USA Today.

The bill gained bipartisan support passing the House 352 to 65. The bill is now on its way to the Senate where its fate is uncertain, and on March 8, President Joe Biden said he would sign it should it make it to his desk.

If signed into law, the bill would prevent app stores like Apple and Google from distributing or updating TikTok and web hosting companies from distributing it, according to an article in USA Today.

Social media influencers Bailey Lavender of Greenville and Spartanburg’s Jorden Hall are worried about the possible TikTok ban.

He continued, “America still agrees that there’s, like, a half-hour every day where facts do matter, and we are allowed to adjudicate things as right or wrong actually based on science and history. And I do think that’s an important bulwark.”

Jennings reflected on his long-standing interest in game shows, which began as a Mormon kid growing up in Korea.
