Congress explores new bill to force a sale or ban of TikTok in America | [Video]

Washington (CNN) — A new bill that could ban TikTok from all US phones and tablets is set for a vote by a key House committee on Thursday, reflecting renewed bipartisan efforts to respond to national security concerns linked to the popular app.

The draft legislation would prohibit TikTok from US app stores unless the social media platform — used by roughly 170 million Americans — is quickly spun off from its China-linked parent company, ByteDance. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is reviewing the bill.
