The Biden Administration is supporting a bipartisan bill to force ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, to sell the app.
TikTok star Charli D’Amelio is one who would lose a huge audience in a US ban, as Joe Biden gives his support to a forced sale by TikTok’s Chinese owners.You wouldn’t find a soul in the American or Australian security establishments who is comfortable with arguably the most important social network being owned by a foreign power.
