2024-04-24 02:00:45 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The wording on this post is misrepresenting the facts. The bill states that if ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, doesn’t sell the app within a year of the bill becoming a law, the app will be banned. This bill DOES NOT imminently ban TikTok when it is law as the post implies. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/20/tiktok-bill-passed-explainer-00153472
