Lawmakers say TikTok could survive ban if ByteDance exits
U S lawmakers push a bipartisan bill to ban TikTok unless ByteDance divests and a U S buyer takes over. The plan creates a 180 day clock for a qualified divestiture with interagency approval and no data sharing with ByteDance. If enacted, the new U S based TikTok must sever ties with ByteDance to avoid a ban.
