US House passes TikTok divesture bill

The U.S. House passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which could potentially ban TikTok in the U.S., NBC News reports. If passed, President Joe Biden would establish a process for the FBI and intelligence agencies to designate certain social media apps as national security threats if found to be controlled by a foreign adversary, unless ties with that entity are severed within 180 days.
