American legislature could see TikTok banned in the U.S

The U.S. House of Representatives has greenlit a bill that could spell trouble for TikTok's American presence. The legislation mandates ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to relinquish its majority ownership within six months, failure of which could result in the app being banned in the U.S.. The bill now awaits Senate approval and subsequent presidential sanction to materialise into law, reported the BBC.
