TikTok is one step closing to getting banned in the USA, with Congress easily passing a bill that mandates ByteDance flog TikTok to a US company or cease operations in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Now it enters the Senate where things are a bit more divided, with many Senators worried it'll impose limits on free speech that could be constitutionally illegal and weighing up how hard their constituents will complain if TikTok is taken away as it could negatively impact businesses that rely on it for marketing and just upset a disturbingly large cohort of society that absolutely loves this God forsaken app. Still feels pretty wild to me that the USA is probably gonna ban a social media platform.
