Congress taking action towards TikTok ban in U.S.
April 4, 2023
Rumors about TikTok getting banned in the U.S. are spreading rapidly after TikTok Chief Executive Shou Zi Chew had to take part in a congressional hearing. Chew has caused a lot of suspicion and worry for U.S. lawmakers, as they fear the Chinese-owned app could be too dangerous for the country. TikTok is a very well-known app among younger generations that draws in millions of daily users, a ban on this app would certainly be a big deal.
“I’d be very upset [if it got banned] because it’s all I do in my free time,” said sophomore Olivia Craven.
The Biden Administration gave ByteDance, which is the company that owns TikTok, the option to either sell the app or it could potentially be banned in the U.S.
