US President signs law that may result in TikTok being banned in America

US President Joe Biden has signed into law a bill that could result in social media app TikTok being banned from America, unless it divests from its parent company Bytedance. Lawmakers have cited national security concerns over its connection to China. TikTok is expected to take its fight to the courts, arguing the move would violate freedom of speech. CNA's Benji Hyer reports.

Chinese "national security" laws require companies, including TikTok's owner ByteDance, *to assist with intelligence gathering.*

[@blackknight4996]

United Snake's Laws does not require, but DEMAND that information be supplied.

The Senate approved sending more
money to Israel on the same day that the United Nations called for an independent probe into the discovery of over 300
bodies, many which are suspected to
have been executed, in a mass grave at the Nasser Medical Complex following Israel's weekslong siege on the hospital.Ravina Shamdasani, the spokesperson for the U.N. Office of the High
Commissioner for Human Rights,
emphasized that the killing of patients
would constitute a war crime.
On Tuesday, U.S. State Department
spokesperson Vedant Patel refused to
support the U.N. call for a probe into the
mass graves in Gaza, stating that the
U.S. will await further information from
Israel first.

[@TuaTagovailoaTouchdowns]

The Chinese Communist Party's ability to coerce TikTok (through ByteDance) is concerning for American national security.

[@PM2024-]

Make a deal with China then. If China allows Instagram, Facebook, google, CZcams, Snapchat, twitter, NYTimes, BBC, twitch, Spotify, WhatsApp, telegram, tinder and Netflix then we’ll keep TikTok 🤝

[@qq_qq_qq]

china allow any company doing business in china, as long as fulfill chinese law, just like apple, microsoft.
while tiktok fulfill all the US law requirement yet getting banned.

[@chenghonggoh4746]

At least Tiktok has a chance to fight the ban in courts. I can't say the same for those apps that were banned in China. 😊

[@havocrein]

The US propaganda media cant control Tiktok😂😂

TikTok will fight this ban and forced sale on Constitutional grounds.

Singapore 🇸🇬 should kick TikTok out of the country.
China has been using Singapore *as a cover* for its operations in other countries.

Is it real like everyone ran to America causing this, a callback because "all japanese" then me in s.g?
14yrs+ solo Is long, or "true enemy got to ran away replacing with someone to wear their face"? Such thing? If keep up my idea, it's meant for animals, everyone have interest in animals anyway. But this means an injuring-movement still got to live successfully somewhere else with "status of nice person" for more than 20years?

[@ArabicReja973]

TikTok will be banned in the US 🇺🇸, and it will be banned almost everywhere. Its value will be greatly reduced.
ByteDance should think of selling it as soon as possible while it's still in demand.
