Concerns about national security have led the Biden administration to demand a sale of TikTok's US operations, citing user data handling and potential Chinese government manipulation. An established federal law, supported by bipartisan lawmakers, requires TikTok's owner ByteDance to divest to an approved non-Chinese entity by January 19, 2025, marking it as a 'foreign adversary controlled application.' Despite a public push against the sale from Beijing, ongoing negotiations have continued as TikTok remains in Chinese ownership.
The Biden administration demanded that TikTok's US operations be sold or face a nationwide ban due to national security concerns over user data handling and Chinese manipulation.
The federal law targeting 'foreign adversary controlled applications' specifically mentions TikTok and ByteDance, demanding a sale to avoid a ban by January 2025.
