As expected, the US Senate passed the legislation, which requires that ByteDance to sell the TikTok within the last 12 months. The signature of the President, and Joe Biden is likely to achieve today. At the moment, there is not a formal statement of the company to the chinese, but a spokesperson has announced already in the beginning of a battle over the law.
A sale or a detention within a year
An early version of the law, known as Act to Protect Americans from the Application of the Controlled Opposition of the Foreigner, provided for 6 months for ByteDance to give up. The young man, which was adopted by the house of Representatives, on the 20th of April, lasts for a time period of 90 days. If the procedure is, the sale has already begun, the President may extend the 90's the other day, having taken a term in a 12-month period.
The one “trick” I use to push the Senate to pass the law. The proposal was not included in the package of financial aid to Ukraine, and Israel. Taking into consideration the importance and the urgency of it, the house voted in favor. - President Joe Biden expressed his satisfaction on dypartiake, according to the law, which “strengthens national security”. It will be on the table in your signature until the present day.
The u.s. government alleges that TikTok is closely associated with the Communist Party of Chinese, so that the application is being used, as a means of espionage. According to many lawmakers', democrats, and the republikanë, the chinese government could have access to users ' data even if they are stored on the servers of the Oracle.
At the moment, it has not received any formal statement, but the company that the chinese have announced already that they will challenge the law in court, up to the highest level of the trial (the supreme Court), because it is a clear violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. However, in the meantime, the application needs to be removed from the stores of Apple and Google.
