President Joe Biden has signed a foreign aid package that includes a bill that would ban TikTok in the country. This ban is set to take effect if China-based parent company, ByteDance fails to divest the app within a year.
The divest-or-ban bill is now law, starting the clock for ByteDance to make its move. Recall that the company initially had nine months to sort out a deal, though the president could extend that another three months if he sees progress.
Even without the extension, the earliest a ban could start is January 2025, with the extension, it would be April.
WOW.
