Bill > S103

This bill proposes to extend the deadline for TikTok to be sold or divested from its current Chinese parent company ByteDance, as originally mandated by the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. Specifically, the bill changes the existing deadline from 270 days to 540 days, effectively giving TikTok an additional 270 days (approximately 9 months) to comply with the divestiture requirement. The extension provides more time for TikTok to either sell its U.S. operations to a non-Chinese owner or face a potential ban in the United States. The bill aims to address national security concerns about the potential for the Chinese government to access user data or influence content through the popular social media platform, while also allowing more time for a complex and potentially challenging ownership transition.
