A historic strike against Tik Tok. Yesterday, the US Senate approved a law that opens the door to banning the popular video application of the Chinese company ByteDance if it does not agree to sell its business in the country. The US Senate has given the green light to this measure, with unusually broad bipartisan support.
This restriction represents a leap forward in the technology war between Washington and Beijing. However, the platform will not be banned for the time being. The approved law attests to ByteDance's ultimatum: the Chinese giant will have to forcibly sell its business to an American company within a year or face a veto of its application in the United States.
