A HOUSE-PASSED BILL TO POTENTIALLY BAN TIKTOK... STILL FACES CHALLENGES BEFORE GOING INTO LAW.
(take file)
TIKTOK SAYS IT MAY GO TO COURT TO STOP A PROPOSED FORCED SALE OF ITS BUSINESSES...
ON FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF 170 MILLION U-S USERS.
A MODIFIED MEASURE PASSED THE HOUSE THIS WEEKEND AND HEADS TO THE SENATE...
TO FORCE CHINESE-OWNED TIKTOK TO SELL... WITHIN THE NEXT NINE TO 12 MONTHS.
U-S LAWMAKERS FEAR BYTEDANCE, TIKTOK'S OWNER, COULD HAND OVER U-S CONSUMER DATA TO CHINA'S GOVERNMENT IF IT DEMANDED THE INFO.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY HAS ALREADY HAD SUCCESS IN LOWER COURT CASES... INCLUDING ONE AGAINST A BAN FROM THE MONTANA STATE LEGISLATURE.
