Senate to Vote on TikTok Ban as Bill Advances with Foreign Aid Package

The U.S. Senate is poised to vote on a bill that would force TikTok to divest from ByteDance, bundled with critical foreign aid, raising the stakes for its passage.

The House recently passed a bill potentially leading to a nationwide TikTok ban, which now heads to the Senate, bundled with foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel.
The bill gives TikTok up to a year to sell to a new owner or face a ban, with the possibility of a 90-day extension by the White House.
President Biden has indicated support for the legislation, which could expedite its approval.
TikTok has criticized the bill as unconstitutional, threatening users' First Amendment rights, and may challenge it in court.
If the Senate approves, TikTok will have 270 days to comply or potentially be banned from U.S. app stores and internet hosting services.
