The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill to either ban TikTok or force its sale within a year. The House also approved it. President Biden is likely to sign. If ByteDance doesn't comply, TikTok faces removal from US app stores. The company plans to challenge the law, citing First Amendment violations. Past state-level bans were struck down for similar reasons. The move follows concerns over data privacy and censorship due to TikTok's Chinese ownership. Despite its popularity, TikTok has faced bans in various settings and countries, including India and China.
