You might have heard about the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act this week. On social media — and even in some headlines — it’s been referred to as the “Ban TikTok” bill.
The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act addresses concerns regarding TikTok’s ties to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. So far, it’s gained unanimous approval from the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee. With a vote of 50 to 0, the committee advanced legislation that “would make it illegal for U.S. entities to distribute, maintain or update apps or other immersive technology owned by ByteDance.”
