According to the latest information, the United States Senate has officially approved the TikTok ban. This development, which hit the technology agenda like a bomb, may cause the cards to be redistributed in the social media sector. The bill will become official if American President Joe Biden approves it. Thus, if the Chinese company ByteDance does not sell its shares in TikTok within 9 months, the platform will be completely banned from the country. Here are the most important details about the subject…
US administration’s TikTok ban created a stir
A similar bill had been on the government’s agenda before. However, the smoother relations with China at that time prevented this situation. However, the tension with the Chinese again caused a sudden change of decision in the American administration, and the TikTok ban was on the agenda again. The law, which is strongly supported especially by Republican Party representatives, seems quite negative for the future of the platform.
It was also said that TikTok, which is stated to be actively used by approximately 170 million American citizens, contributes up to 24 billion dollars a year to the American economy. However, it seems that no concessions will be made to the practice, which is claimed to be used in many espionage activities. It is eagerly awaited how much ByteDance management will give in response to this decision. We hope that this development will benefit users at the end of the day.
In the US, a TikToker trolled autonomous vehicles driving with a t-shirt he was wearing. Here are those moments!
