The U.S. Senate has passed its own version of the bill that will ban TikTok in the United States unless parent company ByteDance divests from the company completely. The measure will now be handed off to President Biden, who has promised to sign it.
The bill has unusual bipartisan support, passing by a 79-18 supermajority in the Senate just days after the House of Representatives passed similar legislation.
Once Biden has signed the bill into law, ByteDance will have 270 days to sell the company. ByteDance has pledged to fight the legislation in court, which will likely extend the length of time before an outright ban would go into effect.
