TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
