After India, Chinese app TikTok has got huge success in America also. The proposal to ban TikTok has been passed with an overwhelming majority in the US Parliament. Most of the MPs from both Democratic and Republican parties were unanimous in this matter. 352 votes were cast in favor of the ban and only 65 were cast against it.
It is natural for China to be shocked by this action of the US Parliament. Due to this decision, if TikTok wants to continue operating in the US, it will have to separate from the ownership of the Chinese company or face a ban in the US.
Now this proposal will be placed before US President Joe Biden. It is certain that Biden will sign it and TikTok's future in the US is in danger. According to the provision of this proposal, Byte Dance, the company that currently owns TikTok, will have to sell the app within 180 days. Otherwise, Google and Apple's app stores in the US may not have it for download.
The action of the US Parliament has proved to be a big blow to TikTok. Last month, Biden used the app as part of his campaign for the upcoming election. For this reason, company officials felt that there was no possibility that TikTok would be banned in America. After this, the situation changed for TikTok within a few days. Currently, the CEO of TikTok is in Washington and trying hard to get the support of lawmakers to stop the bill.
It is noteworthy that India was one of the first countries to ban this app. So it can be said that now America is also on India's path.
