The US House of Representatives has passed a bill which would ban TikTok in the US if its owners don’t sell.
The bill would force the app’s owner ByteDance to sell its stake in the platform within six months or have the app be banned from US app stores and web hosting services.
It was introduced amid concerns over ByteDance’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
