U.S. lawmakers are proposing legislation to force ByteDance to divest TikTok within six months or face a U.S. ban. The bill, supported by a bipartisan group, aims to address national security concerns related to Chinese ownership of the app. It would make it unlawful for app stores like those operated by Apple and Google to offer TikTok or provide services to ByteDance-controlled apps. The bill also grants the president powers to ban or restrict apps posing national security threats. This move follows previous unsuccessful efforts to regulate or ban TikTok, despite the White House's support for such measures.
