The U.S. House is expected to vote on legislation forcing TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to relinquish ownership of the app or face a ban in the U.S. within 180 days of passage, The Washington Post reports. The bill would also apply to any company found to be controlled by a foreign adversary and requires an app to provide a download of all data before any operational change. Editor's note: TikTok will participate in an IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2024 breakout session 3 April dedicated to data localization.
