House passes bill to ban TikTok unless app is bought by US company

On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted 352 to 65 in favor of a bill that would ban TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests and sells the social media app to an American company.

The bill will now make its way to the Democrat-led Senate.
