TikTok Ban Bill Passes In The House, Still Needs To Go Through Senate
Wednesday, 13 March 2024 TikTok's dancing on thin ice in the U.S. ... with the House voting to ban the popular social media app -- unless its Beijing-based parent company ByteDance sells its stake, that is. A vote went down Wednesday and it was a landslide -- 352 to 65 --…
TikTok has gone offline in the US hours before a ban enforcing its removal takes effect. US users were greeted with a message citing legal restrictions, while the app disappeared from Apple and Google stores. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, failed to meet the government’s demand to sell its US operations. As creators post farewell messages, millions await clarity on President-elect Trump’s promised 90-day reprieve, fueling debates about free speech and security concerns.

Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban.

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as President Trumps Director of National Intelligence, despite strong partisan opposition. The 52-48 vote reflected Trumps continued influence over the GOP, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell voting against her. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, faced scrutiny over her controversial past stances, including her support for Edward Snowden. Critics from both parties voiced concerns, but Gabbards confirmation signals a significant shift in U.S intelligence leadership.
