The Senate late Tuesday passed a broad legislative package that delivers $95 billion in foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies.
The bill also includes a provision that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the U.S. if the popular platform’s Chinese owner doesn’t sell its stake within a year.
That has raised concerns among lawmakers and security experts that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.
Meanwhile, TikTok had asked its users to contact their lawmakers to argue against the bill’s passage, an effort that failed to sway opinions in Washington, D.C., noted Eurasia Group director Clayton Allen.
“I will sign this bill into law and address the American people as soon as it reaches my desk tomorrow so we can begin sending weapons and equipment to Ukraine this week,” Mr. Biden said.
However, Ives thinks ByteDance would be unlikely to sell TikTok with its core algorithms, the vital software that provides video recommendations to users based on their interests and viewing habits.
