TikTok has reiterated its concerns about a bill passed by the House of Representatives that could potentially ban the social media app in the US if its Chinese owner ByteDance does not sell its stake within a year. The legislation has now moved to the Senate for review and possible voting. Many lawmakers and the Biden administration have raised national security concerns related to TikTok’s data-sharing practices. TikTok denies sharing US data and insists on protecting free speech rights. The Knight First Amendment Institute has criticised the bill, stating that it would have no real impact on data privacy as other countries could still potentially access Americans’ data.
