Several public sources
- The U.S. Senate has told the president that it is safe in the U.S. and needs to take ByteDance’s business activities and funds out of the country.
- TikTok and WeChat have also been subject to today’s appeals. It was then President Donald Trump who tried to block two pieces of software in the United States.
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to pass a bill that would ban TikTok or force the sale of application, giving its Chinese parent company ByteDance a year to divest.
Threat to TikTok
The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to hand over legislation to President Joe Biden requiring TikTok’s corporate byte beat to withdraw funds and any business activities in the U.S. as soon as possible, or the U.S. will remove TikTok in Tuesday night’s vote. Biden said the bill will be tried and passed on Wednesday. The U.S. Senate’s decision comes as ByteDance’s control of TikTok poses a potential threat to U.S. security.
The bill says the U.S. gives ByteDance 270 days to sell TikTok, which could be extended by three months. ByteDance said it never shared internal data with the Chinese government or any other agency, and that the bill’s passage violated the rights of U.S. citisens.

WeChat has also been appealed
In 2020, former President Donald Trump tried to ban WeChat and TikTok on national security grounds, a behavior that prompted many users to download WeChat, and a judge revoked Trump’s bill for the sake of air time.

TikTok tracks users’ keystrokes and clicks, their IP location, biometric information, search history, message content, what they’re watching, and how long they’re watching. If the United States bans the use of TikTok, WeChat will face this threat.
