House Passes Bill to Ban TikTok in the United States
Effort Backed by President Biden Gains Momentum
Current TikTok Users May Still Have App Access
On Saturday, April 20th, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban TikTok from operating in the United States. The bill, which gained widespread support from lawmakers, is a major step towards implementing a potential ban on the popular social media platform.
The legislation, if enacted, would prohibit the downloading and installation of TikTok from any U.S. app store. However, users who currently have TikTok installed on their devices may still be able to access the platform for the time being. The removal of TikTok from existing devices would be a more complex and challenging task.
U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed his support for the effort to ban TikTok. The bill's passage in the House signifies that a ban on TikTok is now a significant possibility and may soon become the law of the land.
It is important to note that the legislation passed by the House is not yet a law. It must still be approved by the Senate and signed by the President before it can take effect. However, the passage of the bill in the House is a strong indication that a potential TikTok ban is gaining momentum and is likely to face further consideration in the coming months.
