The White House this week gave government agencies 30 days to ensure that TikTok is not on any federal devices and systems
. More than 30 U.S. states, Canada and European Union policy institutions have also banned TikTok from being loaded onto state-owned devices.The fate of the latest measure - which give Biden new powers to order a TikTok ban - is still uncertain and faces significant hurdles before it would come law. The bill would need to be passed by the full House and U.S. Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, before it can go to Biden.
McCaul told Reuters after the vote that he expects the TikTok bill will be taken up on the floor “fairly soon” and voted on by the full House this month. The U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States , a powerful national security body, in 2020 unanimously recommended ByteDance divest TikTok because of fears that user data could be passed on to China’s government.
