IN a stunning display of rare bipartisan cooperation, the United States House of Representatives last Wednesday passed a bill that would ban the popular short-video app TikTok in the country if its Chinese owner ByteDance Ltd. does not sell it to a 'nonforeign adversary company,' as former vice president Mike Pence put it, within six months.
IN a stunning display of rare bipartisan cooperation, the United States House of Representatives last Wednesday passed a bill that would ban the popular short-video app TikTok in the country if its Chinese owner ByteDance Ltd. does not sell it to a 'nonforeign adversary company,' as former vice president Mike Pence put it, within six months. If the bill passes the Senate, which is not certain but seems likely at this point, President Joe Biden has already said he will sign it.
In a local news segment posted on YouTube, Fox 10 News in Phoenix, Arizona, apparently seeking to be a controversy engine, interviewed students at Arizona State University to get their reactions to the passage of the bill by the House. This backfired in an amusing way. 'I know there are a lot of users, and a lot of people make money from it, but I think it would be better for society' if the app were banned, said one student.
