Biden says he would sign TikTok bill that could ban app

Lawmakers on potential TikTok legislation

Lawmakers on potential TikTok legislation, vote expected next week

Washington — President Biden said Friday he would sign legislation that could lead to a ban of TikTok, an immensely popular video-sharing app that is owned by the China-based company ByteDance. 

The bill, known as the

, would require ByteDance to sell TikTok within six months or be banned from U.S. app stores and web-hosting services if it does not cut ties. 

It’s slated to get a vote on the House floor next week, according to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana ***********, who called the measure a “critical national security bill.” 

House lawmakers have moved quickly on the legislation. It was introduced on Tuesday and advanced out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday. 

In a one-page memo to members of Congress that was obtained by CBS News, the Justice Department ***** out the dangers it says TikTok poses, including its access to Americans’ data and the potential for the ******** government to carry out an influence campaign. 

The Justice Department said the legislation would be on more stable legal ground if it gave the government the authority to force ByteDance to divest from TikTok, rather than to impose an outright ban on the app if ByteDance doesn’t sell.

Earlier this week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested the legislation may not yet stand up to legal scrutiny. 

“Once it gets to a place where we think … it’s on legal standing, and it’s in a place where it can get out of Congress, then the president would sign it. But we need to continue to work on it,” she said during Wednesday’s press briefing.
