The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

    It’s not like there’s no reason to it. Don’t be so dramatic. You can waste time on YouTube shorts, Instagram, snapchat etc…

    Rather not have genocidal dictatorships programming us

      So pass a bill banning that. And punish all data vendors when they break it, instead of unconstitutionally targeting one of them.
